Morgan's Broken Femur

Here are the pictures of Morgan & her broken femur. Thank you all so much for all of your love & prayers. We love all of you!
Morgan broke her right femur on Feb 13th. She fell off of a step in the back yard, & crack! Brian took her to the hospital at 7:00 p.m. and called me at about 10:00 p.m. to let me know that they needed to do surgery. I went to the hospital while Grandma Karen watched Jackson. Morgan had surgery at 11:15 and was done by 12:30 a.m. Luckily with technology now, they didn't need to cut into her at all, and were able to arrange the bones in place by looking at a x-ray machine during the surgery. They were also able to cast her while she was out too which was nice. We spent Valentines Day in the hospital as well as the 15th. Not exactly what we planned on doing for Valentines Day, but at least Morgan is okay, and is healing well.

As you can tell Morgan will be wearing a nice body cast for the next 6 weeks. Doesn't that look like fun? :) She is actually being extremely positive & patient through all of this. She is such a sweetheart, & we feel terrible this happened, but I think the Lord gives us these challenges to grow closer and to strengthen us.













Can you tell Morgan has Daddy wrapped around her finger :) She has been so sweet & has done really well at letting Brian and I take care of her. Sometimes she is a little bossy, but I'm sure it is hard for her not being able to do anything herself. She is still so sweet & patient.

Growing Up

What a little stud!!! I wanted to practice with this background on the kids. Let's just say it wasn't a very good picture day, but I still managed to get some cute pictures.
Do you like the big bruise on the side of his head? He fell down by the wall and got a huge goose-egg luckily it has gone down some. ;) As of today though, he has a new bump in the middle of his forehead because he fell of the chair while the babysitter was here. The poor kid is running into everything because he is so fast.

Isn't she a cute little girl!!! The only way I got her to pose for me though was for her to hide candy under her hands so none of you could see them, but hey, anything that works right???!!!
OH, yes, and if you look closley, you can see a piece of candy on the right side of her mouth, and if the picture was in color you would see the other blue piece of candy on her other tooth. Thank goodness for black & white. ;)
