The New Cast

Gracie got her cast newly sealed.
She will have this one for two more weeks.

This is the original cast.

It was split down the middle to allow for swelling and

the red tape held it in place.

Lime green was the new choice.

Beautiful!

For all those who want to see the pins.

Four of them.

They come out when the cast comes off in a couple of weeks.

No anesthesia necessary.

(Did you just cringe?  Me too.)

We couldn't have asked for better care.

Children's Hospital has been wonderful!

-----

Grace's doctor and surgeon was Jason Rhodes.

Dr. Rhodes has as amazing story of overcoming all his own.

A nurse slipped in after he had left the room to tell us about it.

The story was written up in the Denver Post.

He is pretty amazing.

Isabel's Birthday

I am a little late with this post, but...
on September 24th Isabel turned 4!

Four things I like about Isabel:

1.  Isabel was born with mannners.  Says "please" and "thank you" without me ever teaching her.
2.  She has the sweetest little voice.  It makes me melt.
3.  She still naps.
4.  She loves her babydolls and is a good mommy to them.

...and one more,

5.  She loves books.   And she loves me to read to her.

We love you Belle!

Happy Birthday

:)

Broken Arm

                                                      It happened on Monday afternoon.
                                                  She fell off a playhouse in the backyard.

If you think of her, say a pray for her recovery.

It will take up to three months.

I will post more about it in the coming days.

Pre-school

Today was Isabel's first day of pre-school.
She was so excited to go!

Isabel and Mrs. Keltzoe

Here she is on the playground.

We snuck a peak while they were outside.

She did so well and made some new friends.

We are so proud of her!

its a good day for a parade

This summer the girls walked in the Buffalo Bills Day parade.
They walked with their gymnastics club.
Mike carried Isabel on his shoulders and they handed out candy, while
Grace walked with the team and did handstands and cool things like that.
I parked the car on the otherside of the route and took some pictures.

All of my pictures were at the end of the parade route on the off streets, but they walked down Main Street Golden and got the true parade effect.  It's a great parade to go to with your family, if you've never been, and they walked at the beginning of the parade, so we actually were able to sit down and watch the rest.  We had so much fun!  Wish you could have joined us!
