Fractured Wrists

Our little princess went all out this time and fractured now 1 but 2 wrists. It's been about 2 weeks since she first hurt them. As most of you know, she is constantly moving...jumping, flipping, spinning. She is usually using some piece of furniture (even though we are repeatedly telling her..."you're going to hurt yourself")to practice her gymnastics and dance "moves". :)))) This time she was doing somersaults and jumping on our bed. We think she just landed wrong and her wrists buckled. They hurt a great deal at first but, she is doing really well now.


Here's a picture of her with her braces. We were so happy they did not have to cast them. She takes them off to shower and wash her hands and pretty much functions as normal. She's such a little trooper.


We go back to the doctor next week for more xrays. They will decide at this time if she can go without the braces or needs to wear them for a few more weeks.

Short but SWEET!....

Adoption update. I sent our SW a quick note today just to check in and see how things are moving along. She let me know we are #9 or #10 on the waiting list and our Homestudy is next in line for her to complete.
This is wonderful, happy news :) Happy Valentine's Weekend!

I am hoping and praying those families that received referrals months and months ago, can soon go get their babies. To make a long story (or explanation of the process) short, there are quite a few families who received referrals back in May and June that are still waiting to be called to Travel. I can't imagine what this wait feels like and hope everyday that things speed up and get back on track. The wait for a referral is difficult but, the wait from referral to TC (travel call) must be agonizing.

Fun Family Outing

Today we took Gracie to see Disn*y on Ice. It was fantastic! As you can tell from her expression, she was completely mesmerized. It was so fun to see the joy and excitement in her eyes.
