Catching up!

Where to start? How about with Morgan scaring the pants off of me by crashing her hish chair to the floor? It all happened so fast. I was a few feet away and I see her use her legs to lean back (think of balancing a chair on two legs) and before I could even say or do anything she tipped the chair and fell face first to the kichen floor. I was stunned -- she screamed and I ran and grabbed her not realizing I forgot to undo the straps and I made her scream more because her legs were caught in the seat belt! She had a large, red lump on her face and I held her until she calmed down. I made sure she wasn't hurt anywhere else and about a half an hour later she was totally herself and playing. That all happened around 11:30 am. She had been fine all day with her poor face swelling and turning colors -- she didn't seem to be bothered at all. Around 4:30 pm she started to get very cranky (which in itself isn't unusual but she did hit her head so I started to wonder if I should have her checked out). I called Jason and he came home early from work and I took her in to the ER. We were in and out in record time (about an hour and a half) and they said she was fine. They told us what to watch for (fever, vomiting, nose bleeds, etc.) and sent us home. She was totally herself for the rest of the night. She still has a nice black and blue face (see picture) but isn't bothered at all.

Jack finished school the first week of June (hence my severe lack of postings!!) and has been quite a handful! He's very busy and using so many words and phrases lately. Yesterday he said "Window open please, mom, see outside." He wanted me to open the blinds in the kitchen so he could see outside. It's the very first time he's ever explained or expanded upon the "why" or "reasoning" of a request. It's a pretty huge milestone. He's also started answering questions like "Who drives your bus?" and "Who is your teacher?" as well as "Who goes to school with you?" He has learned most of his classmates names as well as the other adults in the school. I sent a disposable camera in to school and they took pictures of Jack and his friends. He loves looking at the pictures (and so do I!!). Most of these kiddos have been together since preschool and it's amazing to see how they've all grown and changed over the years!

I am all a flutter! One of my best friends is getting married this weekend!! I am so excited and happy for them. I am her Matron of Honor and starting with the rehersal Friday night I am away most of the weekend involved with her wedding!! I have an appointment to get my hair done and am going to spen tonight "grooming" doing my nails, practicing my make up and making sure I have everything I need!! Speaking of -- I just thought of something I need to add to my list (a handbag -- I don't think diaper bags go over too well at formal events, lol). Pa Pa and Jan will be sitting with the kids on Saturday while we're at the wedding and reception! How cool is that?? (VERY COOL, lol).

I hope to not have as much time pass between posts. I am trying to justify a Blackberry for Mobile Blogging -- because there are so so so many times when we're out and I'd love to snap a picture and send a few lines to truly capture the moment. If you see Jason maybe you could mention that you all miss me and how nice it would be if I had a Blackberry. lol!
