| Another trip to the ER We had to take Hannah to the ER yesterday afternoon and the news was not good. We were at a birthday party on Saturday and Hannah was playing in a bounce house and fell backwards onto her left arm. Dad checked her out and there was not swelling or obvious break. So, we watched her overnight. Sunday morning I woke up and Hannah was still complaining about her arm, which is completely out of character for her. So, off to the Children's ER we went. The diagnosis - Type 1 Supracondryal Fracture in her left elbow!!! So, we are making an appointment with the pediatric orthopedic doctor and will probably be in a cast for 4-6 weeks.... Will post pictures once the cast is on and update on what the ortho says once we see him..... Poor Hannah - we put her to bed Saturday night with a broken arm..... |

Halloween
For Halloween this year, we went to Boo at the Zoo with Cameron, Austin and Grandma. Hannah had a blast and loved all the kids in costumes. She was not sure about the adults dressed up. Hannah went as Tinkerbell and the boys were Ninja's. Will post pictures of our adventures and pumkpin carving soon.

12 week appointment
We had our 12 week appointment with Dr. B yesterday and all is well. Hannah and Chris went and got to hear the baby's heartbeat!!
Baby's heartrate was 160 bpm. My blood pressure was up and we talked about stress and taking it easy! Everything else looked good and we go back in 4 weeks.
We did ask about the repeat C-section and she said we would schedule that in Dec, but we can count on 7-10 days before the due date, so we are looking at March 24-27!!! Will keep you all updated on the little one....

Fishing with Paco and Daddy
We headed to East Texas this weekend for a relaxing weekend and some fishing. Daddy, Hannah and Paco were all excited about the fishing. We also celebrated mommy and Paco's birthday's while we were there. It was a GREAT weekend - thank you Ninny and Paco for letting us come.
Paco, Daddy and Hannah head off to go fishing.

First Trip to the ER
We had on adventure last Thursday evening!! Hannah was running around the living room like she does every night. As she was running, she tripped and fell - she was just the right distance away from the entertainment center, that she caught her forehead on the handle of the drawer about 2 inches above her left eye. At first she didn't cry, but then she saw that she was bleeding and it was everywhere! So, we rushed to the emergency room of the children's hospital and ended up getting 3 stitches! The tech who was sewing her up laughed when I said it was her first - meaning I know there will be more.
She was such a trooper and did GREAT with them!! Mom was devastated, but Dad was great and we all survived the trauma.....

Colorado Trip
We left out house with Ninny and Paco on June 30 and headed to Colorado for vacation. Hannah was a real trooper and had fun in the car. We stopped the first night in Amarillo (5 hours from home), so as not to wear Hannah out in the car. We got to Amarillo and checked into our hotel. We then set out on an adventure. Chris had found an Amarillo brochure in the lobby and wanted to check out the Route 66 historical district (wow - what a disappointment that was)! We found the sign and there is nothing by run down old buildings that were empty and biker bars. So, we headed to dinner and then took a dip in the hotel pool - after that we were fast asleep.
Day 2- We drove from Amarillo to Colorado Springs by way of Raton, NM. (How about that bump in the road - Chris???) We made it to Colorado Springs in time to pick up April and Baby John from the airport. Once we were all crammed in the Durango with luggage, 5 adults and 2 kids in car seats, we headed to Cascade, CO and the Blue Spruce Inn Bed and Breakfast. It was a wonderful place to stay and Linda and Bill were so nice!!!
Day 3 - We visted the Manitou Cliff Dwellings and Cave of the Winds before heading back for lunch and a nap for the kids. Chris and I headed into historic Manitou Springs and walked around and shopped for awhile. We then drove to Woodland Park and had a wonderful dinner at a local mexican food place.
Day 4 - Chris, Paco and I went in to Manitou to catch the Cog train to the top of Pikes Peak. It was an absolutely beautiful (although long) ride to the top. When we arrived at the summit, we were met with SNOW!!!! It was great and we enjoyed a donut at the top.... After the trip back to the station, we picked up Ninny, April and the kiddos and headed to Garden of the Gods. Chris would have loved to have spent the whole time there, but a rain shower sent us to a restaurant (another FABULOUS mexican food place) and back to the cabin.
Day 5 - After we dropped April and John at the airport, we visited the IAFF Fallen Firefighters Museum, the Olympic training center, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (where Hannah fed a giraffe and rode her first pony), and then took the treacherous (and I do mean TREACHEROUS) mountain road to Cripple Creek to ride the train. Hannah had so much fun and was such a trooper that day. At this point, if Hannah saw a hill coming - she would immediately turn around and say - "I hold you mommy." She was tired of the hills and steep walkways...
Day 6 - Ninny and Paco headed to Denver to see Paco's aunt Corrine. Hannah, Daddy and I went to Northpole, CO - walking distance from the B&B. Hannah had a blast riding all the rides and visiting with Santa Clause - I was happy because last Christmas she would not go near him - looks like this year will be better. After riding all the rides, we hiked down to the Wines of Colorado restaurant and had a wonderful lunch by Fountain Creek and headed back to the cabin for a nap. Ninny and Paco arrived back from Denver and we all went into Manitou and Hannah rode on all the rides at the open air arcade.
Day 7 - Time to head home - we stopped at Van Briggle Pottery (the oldest pottery art in the US) and loved looking at all the beautiful pieces. Then it was on the road again - needless to say, Hannah was not happy about being in her car seat on this ride home. We took the short route - right Paco and Chris - through Oklahoma and back to Amarillo for the night. Hannah again took a dip in the pool and then to bed.
Day 8 - We slept in and then headed to Palo Duro Canyon where Hannah got to ride on the arm rest between Daddy and Paco - she loved that!!! After the Canyon - it was home to Fort Worth!!!
We had such a great time and made many memories. Hannah woke up this morning asking to play with Ninny, Paco and Baby John and April. I think she will remember this trip for awhile!!
Below are just some of the hundreds of pictures were have from our trip......
