First trip to the ER



There's a first for everything and Miss Addison had a trip to the ER a few weeks back. We were in the Providence Airport returning from my cousin's wedding in Boston (pics to come) and Addie tripped into a metal beam along the windows while enthusiastically looking at the airplanes. She got a good slice across her forehead, and the blood started to flow! Someone called 911 (without our knowledge) so the police, firemen, ambulance, and EMTs all came to the "scene" and made quite a scene! We decided to hop on our flight and get back to Chicago instead of going to a random hospital in the area by ambulance. Yes they thought we were slightly crazy! She did great on the flight and we headed straight to Children's from the airport. They were able to glue it instead of doing stitches, and it is healing up nicely. We are so proud of how brave she was about her owie. The past few weeks she has reminded us to be careful with her owie and not to touch it! Kids are so funny. We survived our first major owie to our girls sweet face. Thanks Jessy and Jared for the cute "I'm okay set" to commemorate Addie's first ER trip! Now you'll know why she has a weird bandaid on her face in many of the pictures to come...


We're back!



I finally got a new computer, long overdue! We went with a mac and so far I am really happy with the switch from a PC to a Mac. I have lots to catch up on and now that I am officially done with school, as of two days ago, I will have some free time on my hands! Praise the Lord! I have to still study for boards, but am going to take the month to study. I am so excited to catch up on life, reconnect with friends, spend much needed time with Addison and Cory, and catch my breath!
