St. Patrick's Day!

Here are some pictures from yesterday and updates on the girls - Enjoy!

We started our St. Patrick's day off with a breakfast of green eggs...yep, that's right - green eggs! Kaelin loved it! I may start dying her eggs different colors more often! Then the girls (mainly Kaelin) and I spend the day coloring shamrocks and cooking dinner. We had Shepherd's Pie, Irish Soda Scones, Salad, and limeade punch for dinner, and Bailey's Mousse Pie for dessert (chocolate pudding for Kaelin)!

Hailey is very actively crawling now - at 7 &1/2 months. She also thinks it is so fun to clap for herself quite often! :) She loves to stand and hold onto things, but has only pulled herself up a handful of times.

We have been actively potty training Kaelin since Monday. She is wearing 'big girl panities', and is doing well. We are having about an accident a day. Until today I have had to ask her to go potty about evey hour. However today she has asked me several times, so we are making progress!!

After dinner yesterday we went to the park for the first time this year! We went with Aunt Amy, Uncle Brad and Cousin Dominic. Hailey went in the swings for the first time! She loved it! She wasn't so sure about going down the slides. Our weather here has been awesome - 50/60 degrees! Today it is supposed to hit 72! However - don't be jealous...tomorrow it is supposed to be back to 30!

Jodi - Update

Hi! As you know I broke my right foot on Feb. 14th. As of last Wednesday my right knee had also swollen to about twice its normal size. After a quick trip to the doctor, more x-rays, draining the knee and a shot of cortisone....the doctor believes I have also torn the meniscus in my knee and that using the walking cast is irritating it! He told me to stay off it for a week (yeah right!) and then we would check it again.

Monday (the 9th) I went back. He decided I did not need an MRI at this point of my knee. He actually wants me to start walking around (at home only) for a few hours a day over the next 3-4 weeks without my cast. We will see if that takes added stress off my knee and allows it to heal itself!

Hopefully when I go back in 4 weeks, the foot and knee will both be completely healed! If the knee is not healed, they will do an MRI at that time, followed by outpatient surgery, and 3-4 more weeks of recovery! I am hoping all will be well soon, and am very gratefully to be losing the cast - even for brief periods of time!
