Molly's finger

In what seemed like Molly's 100th trip to the ER in her lifetime, she ended up squirting the ER doc in the face with blood.  :-)  She slammed her finger in the door(well, to be exact, her brother slammed her finger in the door).  She cried like crazy, but you never know with her.  She gets poked by her brother and can do the same thing sometimes.  But then after an hour, I knew it was actually bad.  After icing it, and motrin, I thought it would be okay.  Well, after a couple of days of her not doing much and waking up in the middle of the night, we decided to put a hole in the nail.  We burned a needle and poked it through.  Lots of blood came out, and we thought it was possibly fixed.  But no.  It just stayed really black...solid black.(you'll notice the coloring is now at least varied)  It was so hideous.  These pictures are after her visit to the ER where they said we just needed to make a bigger hole.  Of course. :-)  When they poked it through the nail, it shot right into the docs face...then he gave it a little squeeze and shot the nurse right in the eye.  So, needless to say, quite a bit of pressure behind that nail. She is doing great, and it now just looks like a gross nail...not the hideous almost gangrenous thing we were calling her finger.  Hooray.  

Slept through...

So I love waking up at 6 am...and getting to sleep through the night for the first time in what seems like a year.  I sleep horrible when I am pregnant...and Hansen is almost 3 months....so 9 hours of sleep is like sweet sweet heaven.  :-)  Way to go Hansen.  So proud.  I am also putting on his paddy cake video.  He is just learning to laugh and talk.  So fun.

Graduation!

Our first born has graduated!  Big time stuff.  After a few songs, I was taking Garrett to the potty and then Hansen needed to eat.  So I got to see about half of it. But hey...there will be more graduations right?!  She did great and in the middle of it all, right before another song, she stands up(at this point I am thinking,  What are you doing?  As is every other parent)  She calmly walks over to the corner of that huge rug and folds it back down(it had been kicked up and no OCD girl of mine was going to have one thing out of place for her big day) :-)  Great day! Another great part was the girl next to Molly wouldn't sing at all(mind you they sang 15 or so songs).  Her parents just had this look on their faces while they held their cameras...hoping....just hoping.  :-)
