We have been busy around here. For those of you who haven't heard, Ricky broke his right leg almost 2 weeks ago. He plays basketball at the church on Wednesday nights and landed on someone's foot. He fractured his tibia, but the doctor said the best way for it to heal is time. He is not allowed to put any weight on his leg for 3 months. Poor guy. To make it even worse, he was trying to come downstairs on Saturday and fell all the way down. He was in so much pain I had to call 911. I thought he surely broke something else, but the x-rays showed that it was just the same fracture. He only sprained his ankle, luckily the same leg, and has rug burn down his back. He is just having a hard time with falling lately. The doctor thinks that it will heal just as good without surgery, so he just has to stay off of his leg. I guess he better get used to the crutches, because he will have to use them until Christmas!

Dylan is keeping busy with school and playing with his friends. We have a couple of play-date swaps that I absolutely love! He enjoys having someone to play with when the other 2 kids are sleeping, and I love having some time to myself when he is gone. He is learning so much at preschool. He comes home and tells me all about his day at school. I love hearing about his day and what he has learned. Dylan has become quite the little helper around the house. He unloads the dishwasher, vacuums, helps with laundry, helps set the table, and clear the table. He got a wallet at a garage sale this summer and just thought it would be cool to fill it with money. (He gets a quarter for doing some chores!)

Lauren is my little mom. If Ethan is crying, she will try to make him laugh or put his pacifier in his mouth. (She usually has it upside down, but she tries!) She is going to the bathroom at least twice a day now. She is so proud of herself. She still loves to play with her dolls and to wear jewelry. She loves to follow Dylan around and do/say everything that he's doing. Dylan usually likes it, but sometimes get annoyed with her. She doesn't usually like to watch TV, but she LOVES the Backyardigans. She asks for them all the time! She loves her princess music.
.
Ethan is growing up so fast! He gets all over the place. He still really like food and screams if you don't feed him fast enough. He is almost sitting up by himself. He tries to catch himself if he starts leaning. He has 4 teeth now and is getting over a cold. Poor little guy. He started waking up in the middle of the night, which is hard on me. I hope he outgrows that phase soon!

Me... I am keeping busy with everyone. There are some days that I don't think I get anything done, other than taking care of everyone. I am trying to keep up on the housework along with everything else, but the housework takes last priority. I am really enjoying the beautiful weather we have had. It's so nice to be able to go for walks and just get out of the house. I am so grateful to be a mother and love every minute of it!
