Little Derek has a Fall :(

On the 20th of October our little cute was playing in the loft and fell down the ladder :(
This required a trip to the ER or "Hostibol" as Derek says :):)
He got a neck CAT scan, and a full arm x-ray, only to discover a few days later (at the Ped.) that he has a fractured Clavicle!! Thankfully, it will heal all by itself, and Derek is supper brave and tough, aside from favoring it for a few days, he was rapidly back to his usual self :D
This is Derek upon arriving home from the ER which was a positive visit by the way, a few days later he got a small cut and said we needed to go to the ER so they could make it all better :D
The staff there were excellent, and that, coming from a staunch I-don't-agree-with-modern-medicine ME, is saying a LOT!


Had to add this, this is Little D knitting a wool ball with Nanny, glasses and all :D This is about 6 days after his fall and as you can see he isn't even slightly hindered :D:D

Litte D is THREE!!

Sorry this is so late.
We celebrated Derek's 3rd birthday at Uncle Derek and Auntie Sara's house on Sept 29th (b-day 30th) :)Derek got a BIG Dump Truck, and immediately zoomed all around the living room with Caleb in hot, (ok, not so hot ;)) pursuit!

Next up was an awesome new bike, cruiser style like Derek's Uncle and Auntie! Mom worried he would have trouble riding it but Derek was soon tooling up and down the road outside. For his first go on a 2 wheeled bike (with training wheels of course) Mom was very impressed :D

I don't need to tell you Caleb had a good time ;)


Mom's first go at a Raw birthday cake, this is a Black Forest Cheezecake, and I believe it was a success :D (Derek kept asking for more :D) Auntie Sara was the one who made it look so beautiful, AND was left with all the mess after, THANK YOU to Derek, Sara, Gayle and John for a fun afternoon, Derek had a blast :D
