Alice's Broken Elbow

 We celebrated Father's Day on Monday, since we were out of town on Sunday. Great cards, candy, and some cherry cheesecake! Paul is an amazing daddy:)

 Empty waiting room at urgent care.

 Waiting for the doctor in room 5.

 She was totally able to support her weight on her wrists to sit herself up, but her elbow was broken after all.

 Waiting for the cast.

 You can kind of see the bulge above the bend in her arm.

 Purple cast - yay!

 Makeshift sling.

 Grace read library books to Alice for a long time.

 Charlie just cried all week. Teething.

 Grace read Alice most of a chapter book.

 Half an hour after Alice fell and broke her elbow, she fell asleep on the couch. It's such a rare occurrence for our kids to nap that we had to take a picture.

 Alice wrapped up for the bath. (Her shirt was already off.)

 You can hardly see the tiny break just above the elbow.

 In good spirits still.

 Brownie batter. I cut his hair while he was licking the spoon.

 Ready to defend his high chair.

I love it when he crosses his fat feet!

End of School and the Eastern Reunion

 His hair is so easy to style when it's full of oatmeal!

 Pretty Alice.

 Silly face!

 Hey!

 Snuggling with Mommy and his softy blanket after a rough nap.

 Normal.

 Paul took the screen off the stairs as part of our moving preps.

 Wrestling with Daddy on a Sunday night.

 Princess with big man shoes.

 Grace wearing my shoes.

 Um, I think those are on backwards, Charlie.

 There ya go.

 No pants required.

 Ballet practice.

 Knocking Daddy down.

 In Grace's old leotard.

 Complete with bun!

 Apparently, the last day of preschool is very serious business.

 But exciting!

 The last day was at Jack's house.

 Alice loved doing science experiments for her last day! She came home with homemade slime and silly putty, a belly full of jello, and a shirt that needed washed.

 Where's MY jello?

 Just in case it starts to rain in the living room.

 All dressed with his new sandals on.

 Last day of school. I HATE that outfit, and Grace knows it, but I'm such a nice mom...

 3 new teeth coming in.

 3 loose teeth.

 Last time at the bus stop. Alice, Grace, Megan, and Readeat.

 Charlie and Carl.

 Brianne and Grace.

 Dalilah: the bane of Charlie's existence. Grrr!

 Grace and Alice were good friends at the reunion.

 Uncle Austin taught Alice to shoot.

 Grace was the very most interested of all the kids.

 All decked out for the Color Run.

 Yep, Grace is seriously hard core.

 At the creek.

 Merrody, Eden, and Grace in their Color Run shirts. They all had to tie them into rubber bands because they were so long.

 Chilling at the fire pit. Derek, Sarah, Matt, Justin.

 Me and Heather at the fire pit.

Flake siblings devouring chocolates.  Big surprise.

 Charlie on the way home from Ohio yesterday.

 Grace pulled out her tooth last night!

 Ready to help bake 60 M&M cookies for the reunion!

 Paul tasted one ahead of time, since it was in the shape of a heart:)

 Our anniversary dessert at home: microwave cake with snickers inside, vanilla bean ice cream, and kit kats on top. Yum!

This kid's ready to eat!
