Addy had another appointment for her arm last week and i'm happy to report that the x-rays looked great compared to the previous ones. She freaked out a bit when the doctor came in the room but as soon as she realized everything was ok, she was great. She still clung to me like a monkey in a tree, however, the tears were minimal this time. Thank goodness. She opted for pink with sparkles for her new short cast since they were out of the colorful camo that she loves. Also, she was able to get a waterproof one this time which is SO great.
Addy waited ALL day for dad to get home. She wanted him to be the first to sign her 3rd cast. :-)
It has taken her an entire week to straighten her arm. We were getting a bit worried when she would refuse to straighten it. I has been in a 90 degree angle for 5 weeks now, so she was VERY nervous to try.
She has 3 more weeks to go with this new cast, then more x-rays. These last x-rays showed that the bones are still broke all the way through, but there are calluses that are forming which help keep the bones in place. We'll know more in 3 weeks as to when she doesn't have to be in a cast anymore. Once we hit that appointment, it will have been 8 1/2 weeks since she broke her arm. UGH!
New Haircut!!
We had been playing with the idea of Hailey getting a short haircut.
She was VERY excited and it turned out quite cute.
Softball
We just ended the Provo season with a championship!
The guys worked their tails off the night of the double elimination.
They played a team that was undefeated and they beat them both games right in a row.
The first game was awesome. The guys FOUGHT quite a bit to beat this team. Then, in the second game, Nate made one of the most beautiful hits I've ever seen and the ball just soared. Now, to brag a little, i'm quite use to Nate's homeruns. Over the years, he is just MR. HOMERUN. In park, out of park, it doesn't matter, he's just so good at the game, it's ridiculous. This particular hit left a lot of people in the stands with their mouths open. Especially when it shattered the back window of a new SUV in the parking lot. YIKES. It almost seemed like a slow motion hit. Nate knew it was a good hit the minute it left the bat and he was jogging to first base, knowing there was no need to rush. As he crept up on first base, the window shattered and Nate put his fist to him mouth as if to say "crap". He felt terrible about the window. The guy who owned the SUV was on the opposing team AND the first baseman. Nate apologized and the guy replied saying it wasn't his fault and that it was a really good hit. :-) He then got mad at his wife for parking there. :-) It's always the wife's fault.
Aside from this, Nate played an amazing game. He had some pretty sweet catches in the outfield as usual.
K, i'm done bragging about my super hot and talented husband.. until next time.

Ugh--these broken arms have got to go! I'm glad that things are looking good for little A. E was refusing to straighten her arm when she got her cast off briefly last week--who knows how long it will take for them to fully straighten their arms again. I'm jealous of the short and water-proof cast--we've still got a 90 degree one and are still using press and seal like it's going out of style! Hailey's hair is super cute!
Awesome update! Love to see Addy smiling. Super cute hairstyle on Hailey! And yay for Nate's team. Love and miss you all. ♥
So glad things are going better for the arm. Love Hailey's hair and love the story about nates homerun and the broken window. Always proud of my little brother.
