First Date with Jagger

Analise and Jagger had their first date last week. Of course, it was supervised by Candy,Kya and I. Kya was there to make sure everyone was entertained!!


All three kids just played and played. They all three ended up taking a nap! Can you believe it?

Analise showed off her new walking skills for Candy. Who was very proud of her as you can see.

Kya also read books to the "little" kids but they weren't interested. Doesn't she look so grown up? This time last year it was only Kya and she was Analise's age! WOW! What a difference a year makes!!

We had such a FUN time!! Candy is so crazy and we laugh until we can't laugh anymore! Stay tuned this week for some VERY INTERESTING photos of Candy and myself!! They are so funny!!!

Jagger, as he was being handed from person to person! Not one wimper, this kid is for sure a ROCK STAR! He loved the attention!

Their first kiss...how sweet. Please excuse our big heads!

She's No Humpty Dumpty

Today was a traumatic day in our household. Well, it started out fine then went downhill around 4:30pm.

As you know, Analise has started walking. Sometimes she walks fast enough that I have to run to catch up to her. The thing is, she isn't very steady just yet and relies on stable objects to break her fall. That didn't quite work out for her today.

She was walking towards her bouncer and misjudged the distance. Then she just bit it! HARD! Nose first into the walker. Of course, she screamed bloody murder and rightly so! It was like watching it in slow motion. Adam & I were both within two feet of her and there was nothing we could do to stop it. We tried.

I picked her up and took her to the kitchen. We wet a cloth and patted her nose. To which we see a small cut on her nose. It really did look painful. Adam goes, "Shannon, she split her nose." It was just awful...I felt so bad. I cried because I couldn't fix it. Ugh, the agony..

So, we loaded her up in the car and headed to the local hospital. Before we got there we decided we should go to a hospital in the city. We were concerned she would need stitches on/in her nose and we wanted her to get the best care possible. We then turned around and headed to the city. She was such a trooper and she had stopped crying before we even left the house. She then proceeded to nap for the next 45 minutes. Don't worry, it really was her naptime so we knew it was ok.

We go into the ER and they fast track her because of her age and injury. This is her in triage.

Then we get called back to the treatment room. Here she is showing out for her DaDa.

Then it all hit the fan. The doctor wrapped her up like a burrito with a sheet. He then proceeded to clean the wound and check her out. Here are her thoughts on that process...


She ended up with a laceration to the nose. They were able to seal it with super glue. NO STITCHES!!! Thank God!! Truly thank God. I prayed on the way to the hospital that we would get the right person at the right time to help Analise. The Doctor was great and the hospital was superb! We were so glad we chose to go there! Get this, we were in and out in less than an hour! HONEST!! That in itself was a miracle!

She discovered her hospital ID on the way home. She was so cute trying to get it off.

She has officially been dubbed perma-snot. The super glue makes it look like she has a huge snot rolling out her nose! I highlighted it for you!

This is her on the way home. She was exhausted and I think her face hurt. Poor thing. When we got home she was back to her usual self. Playing and walking too fast! That girl!!

Retrospect:
-I think this cemented our decision to move closer to the city.
-My husband, I am so proud of him. He just doted on her the whole time. I love him so much!!
-I hope that you all never experience this. Although she was fine, the things that run through your mind prior to hearing the Doctor's diagnosis can be crippling. If you let it.
-My child is one tough little egg. I'm glad they put her nose back together.
