Family Photo

We were all together at the computer and Jimmy decided it would make a great family photo. I beg to differ:

(Um, Joey's got a nice bald head).

(We look awesome blurry)!

Josef Joe Joey Joe-Joe

There's a reason I'm not a photographer. I take the dumbest pictures! But, I have cute kids so it's all G!

I should have taken a video, really... he was so cute eating his shirt.

Jae's stitches

In my 28 years and 10 months and 9 days of existence, I had never seen stitches being sewn before.  It was pretty cool, but something I could never do! Thankfully I suck at school and will never be in the medical field. Disgusting.

Helper Jae

Jae likes to wash dishes. It started when I had a bunch of cookie cutters sitting on my counter and Jae wanted to play with the water. Soooo... I filled the sink with water and soap and he had a blast! It occupied him a good hour. (That's almost an eternity in toddler time)! He still likes to help me empty the dishwasher, sweep the floor (he's semi-dangerous with the broom), and set the table. Oh, and of course, "micks." He loves to help me mix things in a bowl. I used to just give him a container of Bisquick and put about a Tbsp. for him to "micks" and play with, but then he started eating it. Not that that's bad, but I'd rather him not.

Jae's ER Visit 11.9.11

I was getting dinner ready and Jae was in the kitchen with me. I don't even know how it happened, but I was telling him to move so I could shut the fridge. He just stood there and acted weird. He put his hand in the doorway of the fridge and I told him to move it and he wouldn't. He's usually good at obeying, so I wondered what was going on.  I moved his hand, shut the fridge, and when I looked down, I noticed blood pooling on the top of his foot. Something underneath the fridge sliced his foot open. It was disgusting!  Jimmy didn't think we needed to take him in, but I was pretty sure a big, gaping cut in Jae's foot was a sign we should go in.  It gushed blood for the first few minutes, but was OK when we got to the hospital.  This picture hardly shows the severity of it:

He was seen and after about 2 hours he got 3 stitches. He only cried a little bit and was a champ the whole time. The nurse gave him 3 sets of stickers and we put them on his Thomas PJ pants while we waited for D/C papers.

As we were waiting for D/C papers, Jae said he wanted "choclate" milk.  So, I got him chocolate milk when I picked up the Bacitracin for his laceration.

Hello, new table

My parents came over the weekend and helped with some stuff around the apartment.  My mom refinished our kitchen table.

It's always fun when daddy's home!

We love when Daddy is home from school early. We went to the park and rode on Lightning McQueen!
