Things are jolly good…….
sometimes at our house we speak with a brittish accent.yeah…..it’s fancy. We think we’re pretty spectacular. It even sometimes slips out when I am helping in Aleksia’s class and the doodle’s classmates look at us a little sideways.
so….. we have been doing stuff here. I like it. It makes January a little less January-like.
{awesome thing #1}
We had an awesome trip to the emergency room…..I think a guy in the next room kept coding……….so yeah the ER doc was pretty busy and we just kinda sat there with a bleeding Ella patty.
{so the story goes like this}
Ella was drinking from a glass in the kitchen~ Coop thought he would tease her a little bit and ran by her and knocked her shoulder~ which then made her drop the glass ~ which then broke into a thousand million pieces~ and that my friends is how fairies are born~
I mean…..Ella was thrown off balance and headed for the floor~ She put her hands down to catch herself of course and thats when her hand and a large glass shard became one for a brief instance ~ not such a pretty site~
7 or 8 stiches later our crazy girl is back to normal~ she doesn’t pay much attention to her broken little patty and we’re thankful things weren’t worse than they were.
{mind you this is at re-bandage time, we’re not so negligent that we let our two year old glass shard victim run around with a naked owie hand….just so you know}
{awesome thing no.2}
Rob’s sis Carlene and 2 kiddles Carmen and Howie {from Cali} stayed the night at our place and we partied it up in true “we have six children under 8″ kind of fashion. Meaning we did nothing but hang out and enjoy eachother’s company. It makes me miss that awesome Martin crew so much. But yay for California vacations and family that lets us crash at their homestead.
{awesome thing Number C}
We had our first Gourmet Food Group night~ thanks Tiff and Rachel~ It was a night filled with delicious food, super cute decor, and delightful conversation. Check out our fabulousness here at the BonVivant site.{awesomness infinity}
I remade my topiary.
I know everyone has been wanting to know how the whole Topiary tragedy of 2010 panned out. Well, don’t worry folks I now have a perfectly lovely set of moss covered topiaries just hanging out cute as can be. And they are deliciously black and white so they will live in this spot long after my Valentine decor has been laid to rest. My soul is happy.
{awesome times no. 5}
I have nothing else to add to this ~ but this~ did you know that you can be minding your own business just reading a night time story to your two little princess faces and when you least expect it a profound answer to your pleading prayers will abruptly appear before your eyes?
God is good.
He is mindful of all of his children. He knows us and our inner most desires. And He LOVES us. Each of us.
And for that I am thankful.
YAY! I figured out how to leave comments on your newly designed blog!
Poor Ella… We took Landon to the ER in Tooele last year and hated it. Every time we go there we have to wait, like FOREVER! Even when I had my “emergencies” with Lincoln’s pregnancy. It totally sucked (pardon). I’m glad things are better, and that she is such a trooper! I hope she gets lots of extra kisses, and that Cooper was not too much in trouble
