Purple Cast

Hi, it's Maryn!

Your broken-legged girl!

This weekend was supposed to be so much fun!!

We had a "daddys day out" with our daddy and papa.

We were going to go to the park and I was SO excited!

When we got there, I decided to go down the slide. ( I LOVE to slide!)

While I was going down, my leg bent funny and it REALLY hurt.

I cried and cried...

Daddy decided to take me to the doctor. They took some pictures that had to go to another doctor to be read. (I guess our doctor can't read pictures, only words)

I spent my whole birthday weekend sad and with a hurt leg.

Last night we got a call from our doctor that my leg was broken. My mom says that when my leg got stuck on the slide, the pressure from my foot split the leg bone from about my ankle to my knee.

It didn't really look broken to me, but it sure hurt, so I suppose they must be right.

Today, I went in for my cast.

I was pretty scared when we got there, but it was really no big deal.

The doctor took some pictures of my leg and decided I needed to be "stuck" in this thing from my hip to my toes for the next 3-4 weeks or so.

I kept telling mommy that I was "stuck" and she said I was supposed to be.

I guess being "stuck" makes my leg feel better.

When the doctor was done putting on the cast, I got to pick my color. Of course, I picked purple.

I even got a Dora the Explorer sticker.

Yeah, the doctor wasn't so bad.

I got a special cast that I can take a bath in...and guess what...my mommy and daddy even wrote me special messages on my cast. Maybe you can sign it too?

Pray that I heal quickly!

Love,

Maryn Elizabeth

Elmo Party

Hi! Hope you had a great weekend. No matter how good it was, we don't think it could have been better than ours!
We turn 2 next week, and this weekend was our birthday party!!!
Here is a picture of us in the morning on our way to school.
Cheese!

Here we are catching the last few minutes of Sesame Street before heading out the door. Mom couldn't quite get us to look at the camera.Elmo's World was on!

We LOVE Elmo!

We even got to wear these neat-o shirts!

When we got home from school, our grandparents and aunties and uncles came over for a party!!

We had PIZZA! Our favorite!

We even got presents! We loved each one so much, we could hardly stop playing with it to open the next! Thank you everybody!

Check out this "pop star" outfit from Auntie Lauren. Here's Leah singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

And the surprise guest....ELMO!!!

Maryn was brave and had her picture taken with him.

Brynn and Leah...they prefer to see Elmo on T.V.

After Elmo went back to Sesame Street, we got to have cake. Look at this cake that our mommy made for us. It was so yummy!

Saturday is our real birthday, we turn 2 at 4:58, 5:00 and 5:01 a.m. on November 28th.

On that day we're spending the WHOLE day doing fun stuff with our mommy and daddy.

Another celebration! We can't wait!

Hope there is more cake!

Love,

Boy, are birthdays fun!

Croupy Kiddos

Sorry we haven't checked in for a while, we've been a little under the weather. :(

We caught a bug and coughed and coughed and coughed. We had to bring out "the bear" (our nebulizer) again. Mom even had to get some stronger steroids from the doctor for our lungs.

It was a tough week, but it wasn't with out its good parts: Lots of hugs and kisses and all the juice and popsicles we wanted and the best part of all...mom didn't make us get dressed. We got to wear our jammies all day. (Even mommy wore her jammies all day) It was a PJ party. Complete with all the Sesame Street movies we could fit in.

We're feeling better now, thank goodness! It's been so beautiful outside!

Thanks for shining on us, Mr. Sun!

Love,

Maryn, Brynn and Leah

P.S. Can you believe we are almost 2?! The countdown to our Elmo party is ON!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch Kids

Hi! It's Leah! Today we went to the pumpkin patch to pick our very own pumpkins. This is the first year we've been old enough to choose the very best ones.

For your entertainment, here is a recap of us with our pumpkins the past 2 years:

This year, we went to the patch, and we looked and looked for the perfect ones. It was quite a search!

Here we are with the best pumpkins in the patch!

Happy October!
