We have movement!

T has had an awesome afternoon and is now using her arm! I am so relieved. I'm guessing it took so long for her to regain full use just because of how long she went before having her arm put back in place. Now we will just have to be very careful for the next several weeks but I think she is on the mend! Thank you for all of your well wishes! I feel like a weight has just been lifted off my shoulders! Happy Thursday, tonight is our opening of the new location of Rhubarb Roots in the Altona mall!

My Heart Is Breaking...

T and S had a little accident this weekend while they were playing in their bedroom. It is difficult getting the full story from kids this age but all we know is S was holding T's hand he fell and her arm twisted (at least that is the most we can put together from their stories). T has not moved her arm since. She had x-rays on Saturday (no break as far as they could see, but it was a real struggle to get her to straighten her arm). We went back today and after a 2 1/2 hour wait, 6 x-rays all while she was screaming and crying (not to mention mom) and then a twist and bend to put it back in place and she is still hurting :( The Doc thought it was dislocated but believed she would be able to move it after he put it back in place...

Photo Shoot

Linda and I had the opportunity to take pictures of two really fun kids today! It was so much fun watching these two kids interact .

I must admit I was a little envious of her hair :)

I'm questioning

Just how on earth a tummy can get bored of wiping after going to the bathroom? T insisted she could not wipe because her tummy was bored. The rest of the conversation went like this...

mommy - "well, it's a good thing your tummy doesn't have to wipe then, it is your hand that you need!"
T- "but my hand is bored too!"
mommy - "That hand is going to have to get over that..." as I helped wipe.

My kids have learned about being bored from hanging out with their older cousins. I'm afraid we will begin hearing a phrase that drives me crazy..."I'm bored." ...oh yeah....I'm supposed to embrace this.

Photo fun!

I haven't posted here in a while. Since the green mohawk we had a purple and red one! S had to have it done while he was with me at my hair appointment. He chose hanging out with me over staying to watch the Bee Movie! R still isn't walking (I'm not sure how many times I am asked that within a day?) but she has not problem getting around. She loves to climb up on the furniture and into the egg chair to do a little reading. She is so laid back and content to just hang out. I'm enjoying that! T has been loving preschool, she has a new favourite show called Super Why? It will be such a short time until she is off to school. She is waiting to go to kindergarten but comments regularly on how much she will miss her preschool teachers!
I've been doing this really fun photography course! One of the best parts is the drive and the late night snacks on our way home ;) I'm really excited about the portrait portion of the course tonight. Here are some of the things we have been working on.

His fathers son

The two men went for a haircut tonight and S came running in the house yelling "surprise." The big surprise was a green mohawk. He now vows he will never shower or have a bath again. I think I vote for purchasing some green hair colour (the temporary kind of course)! It is a little tough to see in the photo but it is certainly green :)

some pics from a past shoot

I just wanted to share some pictures from an early January shoot. We were quite busy over Christmas but here are some pictures from one of them. It was great to be able to combine a shoot with a full day visit with a great friend!
