Catching Up

So much has happened: crawling, pulling up, eating solid foods (Jonathan); and potty training and puzzles (Caleb). Here's an extra long post due to the delay.

Beach and more

It's halfway through September! Ahhh!

Explanation: Large bubble machine on the boardwalk

The picture was about a half a second too late.

June and July (not forgotten)

So I'm behind. Let's catch-up:

Two Boys

Smiling

This is a nice artistic shot
(except for the elmo pjs)

This water was cold...and Caleb didn't care.

Here are this month's pictures. As a warning, the last picture may not be for the faint of heart, so be careful as you scroll down there.

Warning: The following photo may make a person cringe.
The story: Memorial Day weekend, Caleb fell off the couch and bonked his head on the couch. We weren't even rough-housing. I looked at the back of his head and knew immediately that we were going to emergency room. I had my chin split open in gym class in high school and had to get stitches, and Caleb's cut looked like that, but smaller. It wasn't bleeding to bad, thankfully.
We walked to the emergency room (because we can here in the city). The nurses numbed the area while we waited. We were told that they don't use stitches anymore, which is good because we could hardly keep him still. On the other hand, they used staples! Yes, staples. And we will have them removed on Monday. His wound is healing well, and any scar will be under his hair in the back of his head.
So if you would like to see the picture of the staples, scroll down.

The Kids (April 2008)

Yes, I know I owe everyone a post and that you've been checking this blog repeatedly for updates - you know who you are. I've been trying to get to this for a few weeks now, but haven't been able to. So this will be a reworked super-sized post. By the way, if you haven't read about my experience at Walmart, go check out that post as well.
