Day 71 (March 31, 10:30PM)
As if things weren’t bad enough, last night Aiden fell off the bed (while he was trying to get a toy that he dropped) and broke his left arm. His left humerus is fractured and will probably take a few weeks to heal. It was a clean break but it is so high up on the arm that they cannot put a cast on it. So, his arm is taped to his body (a sling would not work so this was the next best thing). So, add one more thing to pray for!
We never thought that Aiden would be the first to break a bone as the twins tend to run around a lot more as they do not have all the equipment, tubes, etc. Over the past several days, they have really enjoyed themselves at a kid’s place called Going Bonkers and then we took them back to the Dallas Arboretum. The weather is finally getting nice and yesterday was the first day to reach at least 80 degrees since 10/20/2009 making it the second longest number of consecutive days in which the temperature stayed below 80 in Dallas. They also got their haircuts and, for the most part, seemed to enjoy it.
They love cars
…and climbing…
…and crawling…
Ethan wanted to make sure the white car was still there
The “candy machine” was also fun
Here he comes
Dad went down the slide and caught a picture of the boys
They loved bouncing around
The arboretum was beautiful
…and creative…
The boys love flowers
And getting to touch them was a lot of fun
Boys, get off the dirt!
Grammie had to supervise
It was hard to get them to look and smile
Such brothers!
Evan’s look of determination
Taking a short rest
Evan smelled the flowers
Ethan was not interested
Aunt Aleta took them for a spin
Ethan, don’t eat that!
Despite all of the beauty around us, they chose to play with a dead branch
Daddy and his little bear
…and a kiss
Ethan wanted to fly
Here comes Evan…
My babies!
We got them to sit still by giving them pretzels
Grammie and her grandkids from Texas
Evan was a little scared to sit on the branch
So, we added Ethan
And then Kaylan
More pretzels
Time to relax
Back home and time to eat
Evan gets a haircut from Grammie
He is anxious to get it over with
Ethan is done with his haircut
And gave me a smile
