Isabella Broke her Arm :(

It's not really bad--- it's a hair line fracture in her LEFT forearm. She got a 'soft cast' which is a splint (made like a half of a hard cast) wrapped in an ace bandage. She keeps it on for 2-3 weeks. The Dr said starting the second week we can take it off at times she will just be sitting still. And we can always take it off for baths. She handling well and was glad she didn't have to get a 'real' cast like Luke got!

Now you're asking how it happened....Well she was at least having fun! She fell out of a tree while we were playing at our neighborhood playground. She landed on her feet but then feel forward onto her hands, that was on Saturday and we didn't know it was broken, we figured sprained. Then she slipped and fell again on Monday and it started hurting more, so we got X-rays Tuesday morning and by the afternoon she had her 'soft cast'.

We are having to postpone her 5th Birthday Party with her school friends until the weekend after her birthday. She wants a Pool Party :).

Lexi is doing great! Her teacher started a Reading Club for her and 3 other students in her class, that are the Best Readers, they meet together 2x a week to read new books during the school day. She is very excited about this special reading time she has.

Thats all for tonight! Love Carole Mae

Updates for Party Mailout!

Cheryl is currently entering all names/addresses and hopefully phone numbers of all guests that Mom picked into excel.

Anyone have any ideas on what to say on the "Hold this Date" postcard! I like to see it in the mail in the next few weeks.

In regards to the Hawaii trip for them, we have already booked a week with our timeshare in Kona on the big Island. for 12/5 thru 12/12. We told Daddy about it, for another reason to get healthier and to make sure he starts taking better care of himself. Right now the airfare is about $800+ per person, plus activities, food and inter-island flights. So hopefully with the note 'we' (maybe Elisabeth writes :)), that goes into one of the future mailings, we can collect some from gifts!

That's all for now! Carole
