A pregnancy just wouldn't be complete around here without someone getting casted. Too bad it had to be Eva though. She broke the distal (far) end of the ulna and radius, a greenstick and buckle fracture for you medical people. She fell off her razor scooter. A scooter Chris had not wanted because he thought they were so dangerous. I thought it was great for balance and coordination and just a part of growing up......hmmmmm. I had also been beating myself up that we were horrible parents that had not taught her to ride a bike without training wheels yet because she just didn't seem coordinated enough........ guess I got that one right! She said it really didn't hurt that bad. Expected to heal very quickly, cast off in 3 weeks and back to normal in 6. She was at the neighbors' playing as soon as we got home and is now at a movie with them. She has now broken her leg, head and arm and she is SIX YEARS OLD!!!! And yes, I did ask if she has some weird bone disease or something as well and they do not think so. Just bad luck. She is completely fine though. We had been planning a trip to a hotel that has a big, sandy beach and a pool in Detroit Lakes that Chris stays at while he is at WeFest. We went last year and they loved it. She can't go, she wants to stay at the lake with Grandma Lois instead of watching the boys swim or instead of us all staying home. Every pregnancy I am doing this ortho/bathing with a cast crap. Yes, yes, yes..... I know.... this is the last baby.
No pictures of the purple cast because dad took the camera to WeFest......
But, we did rig her up a bag system so that she can go down the water slide and run through the sprinkler and such. Although, she is not a very good aimer with this sprayer and one left hand. Dad got sprayed pretty good dressed up on his way out to celebrate good radio ratings. 
Eva with her bag. Neighbor girl: Maggie. I know, she's super cute. She's as sweet as she is cute and we love these neighbors and they are moving. I tried for a long time to just not like them.... impossible.
