A Quick Update

Well.. Owen's elbow has significantly less swelling today.  It's the magic healing of youth!!  He hasn't complained of pain at all today, but he also won't move it from the bent 'L' position.  I gave him a long bath, we cleaned the wound and put a fresh bandage on.  The old band aid was clean with no leakage, so I'm not worried about infection.  I am concerned about it, so I will get him in first thing tomorrow (Monday) for an xray.  He's also complaining of his ankle hurting and won't walk on it, so I think I'll have them xray that as well, just to be safe. 

Owen found a parking spot on the couch today and hasn't moved yet.  Usually 8 hours in front of the TV/Wii/Laptop would concern me greatly, but today has been an exception. 

As I was switching over my December calendar for my January one today, I realized that in just four days, my baby girl will be an official teenager. I can tell you that time has just flown by!  We are so blessed to have such a sweet girl who acts nothing like a "typical" teenager.  She is just sweet, helpful and so fun!   We are still trying to decide the perfect gift for her.. she is tough to shop for. 

Owen is already planning his party for the end of the month as well, can't believe my boy will be 5!  He has defeated the odds over and over again... we can't wait to celebrate this big milestone of a birthday!

But first.. we will enjoy the last day of 2012.  We have bottles of Martinelli's sparkling apple cider and champagne glasses from the dollar store.  I am planning candle light dinner and movie night for four.  The most perfect way to ring in the New Year!
