Since this has become my journal and I plan on printing it I thought I would add in some old memories plus when I uploaded my pics from my phone these were still on there. Some of you may remember this time last year but for those who don't a week after Katelyn's first birthday she decided she would try going up the stairs and ended up toppeling down. She only cried for a minute so we didn't think anything of it but for a week she favored her leg so we finally decided to take her into the doctor and low and behold it was broke. I felt so horrible that I let her live on it for a week but the doctor said that because it didn't lodge out of place and it was a clean break it only hurt her when she put weight on it which is why we didn't think there was anything wrong. Here's the day she got the cast.
Just a little memory funny but grose one of the days while she had her cast on she had a total blow out and stuff got everywhere even down the cast. When they took the cast off I was intently watching for any poop residue in the cast but luckily there wasn't any.

Having a 1 year old with a broken leg was quite an adventure baths were a circus. I would lay her on her back while Ammon would hold her leg up in the air. She eventually got really good at crawling but because she lost that critical month she didn't learn to walk till she was 16 months old. Plus about 2 weeks after she got her cast off Briley was chasing her around the coffee table and pushed her over and she ended up spranging her ankle on the other foot. The poor thing just didn't dare stand after all of that for quite a while.

oh man, I saw the picture and did not read the story and about had a heart attack for you. you alone with 4 kids, and now one has a broken leg!!! I am so glad that was a past accident!
Sweet pictures! Poor little thing. I'm glad they are old pics!
That totally scared me too! I thought for a second that this could not be happening again!
So did you find a place to live?
I too was scared that she just broke her leg but thought she looked a lot younger in the pic. Glad they were old. I love your new haircut. your camera phone gets nice pictures.
Which leg bone did your daughter break... and did it occur along the growth plate? If so, has she had any adverse growth effects? (My 19 month old has a broken tibia... very concerned about long term effects... would be very interested to learn more about your experience.)
