Back to life

Well we have been home now for about a week and life has finally gotten somewhat back to normal. Gavin got back on his sleeping schedule relatively easy and had finally decided to drop his morning nap. Which I wasn't really looking forward to only having one break during the day but he sleeps so much better during his afternoon nap and at night so I'll take what I can get! I have been trying to finish decorating the house for christmas but it is a little hard with a one year old RUNNING around the house and getting into everything that you are trying to put up or organize or fold and put away etc. So one day I took Gavin outside with me so I could start working on the lights on the outside of the house. So everything is going great for about 20 minutes and so Gavin is getting a false sense of security in how well he can run up and down the drive way. :-} So eventually he falls and face plants into to concrete.

Thankfully we had already taken our christmas card pictures! Of course I felt really bad for him but he has absolutely no fear right now so I figure a couple of painful yet not "dangerous" falls might be good for him. He stopped crying after like two minutes until I tried to clean and medicate it but all in all a good scar story for him. Chicks dig them right?

Anyway, So I eventually get all the christmas decorations up and am hoping that now that it is thursday, Joshua is finished with seminary and can finally help me around the house and with our child more and can help out putting up all the boxes that hold all the christmas stuff and Joshua calls. He was playing basketball and fell and hurt his ankle. He doesn't really think it's a big deal but he's going to go to the doctor. Later he calls to tell me that he is on his way home and is driving with his left foot because his right foot is elevated in a removable cast up on the dash board! Turns out he has a high ankle sprain and has to keep it iced a lot and elevated at all times! So much for helping me! Not only can he not help but now I have another baby to take care of!

oh well, I guess that's just life in the world of boys!
