For Aunt Suzie and Emily

Just remember... I could always do worse!


For everyone else, please know I would never really make my daughter wear such things!! I'm not that ridiculous!

Micah Made a Mess!

Life is never boring with Micah around. I'm sure that most have heard by now, but Micah spent last night at Arkansas Children's Hospital! Micah is my big helper around the house, and his favorite chore is doing the dishes... Yesterday, Micah was so excited to do the dishes with daddy, but all fun ended when he pulled a big pot lid out of the sink which caused him to slip and fall backwards off his chair onto the tile. He hit the back of his head on the tile and his face got clabbered by the lid! He cried, but not hard, and he just wanted to be held. About ten minutes later Micah started throwing up. Mike called the base clinic (our pediatrician) and they thought it would be best if we took him to the local ER to get him checked out...just in case. Mike and I both thought they would just look him over and send us home, since by the time we got to the ER he was fine and just wanted a "nack"(snack)!! No such luck!!! They did CT and found "a possible fracture". Dr. Montgomery thought it would be best to send him down to the Children's Hospital in Little Rock to get a neuro consult. So.... Micah and mommy both got their first ride in an ambulance. The docs and nurses at Children's were great, and confirmed that he had not just one but two skull fractures. The fractures should heal on their own, but the real concern was that he had a head injury bad enough to cause them in the first place. We were lucky to have no bleeds, swelling, or for that matter even a bump where it happened. They kept him overnight just to make sure he didn't develop any complications and sent him home this morning. He had a great time...endless ice-cream, huge playroom, and lots of new friends! Mommy and Daddy just hope he didn't love it enough to want to go back any time soon!! He came home and has been going a hundred miles a hour since... Here is a video of how he is spending his afternoon. Thanks again for the tractor Grandpa D!!

Las Vegas

This past weekend, we got to vacation in Las Vegas with the Harris family. The highlight of the trip for Micah was petting a REAL lion!

Micah's first animal sound was "roar", and he loves to play "lion" with daddy, so meeting a real lion was way cool! We spent most of our time just hanging with the fam, but we did spend part of a day down on the strip--wouldn't be a Las Vegas trip without it!
