Family Photos - Riding the Bent Tree

We found this funny bent tree on our hike through Umstead State Park. It looked like a good place to have the boys line up for a picture (taken 04/06/07).

Family Photos - Much Mulch

Our town was giving away free mulch on Saturday, so I borrowed a pickup truck and got three loads. As much effort as it was to unload the truck, I was glad that I paid the $5 to have them load the truck with a backhoe. Now we just have to put it on the hill.

Family Photos - Its Broken

As we feared, Can's leg is broken. Mom took him to the doctor's yesterday for an X-ray. One of the bones in his lower leg is cracked all of the way through. It is quite a long break as it is split diagonally across the bone. I didn't see the X-ray but Mom said that the bone is separated at the bottom part of the fracture. He has been quite a trooper through it so far, although he is whining right now because it hurts and because he cannot get himself around. He just has to sit and cry for things.

Decl had a visit to the dentist's office on Wednesday to get a cavity filled. While his mouth was numb he bit the inside of his cheek pretty badly and now it is all swollen. He complained about it hurting badly on Wednesday, but I think that it wasn't as painful yesterday.

In other news, Can was playing at the park yesterday and hurt his foot/leg. It seemed pretty sensitive and he wouldn't put any weight on it last night. Our nurse friend suggested that we give him some ibuprofin and see how he is today. If he still won't stand on it, Mom is going to take him to the doctor. I update when I find out more.

Family Photos - leprechaun

Dec decided that he needed to make himself pinch proof yesterday, since it was Saint Patrick's day. I'm not sure where he got the idea but he wanted to go on a leprechaun hunt. I told Dec that he looked like a leprechaun himself but I couldn't get him to lead me to his pot of gold, so we decided to go tromping through the woods behind our house in hopes of locating one of the little fellows. We never saw any leprechauns but we had some fun jumping streams and knocking over dead trees.
