The Mercy That Covers Me

The cast saw is noisy and scary. He was fine when Mr. Jeff stopped using the saw. The arm is red but healing well! He got a few stickers and was very happy! He was a clown the rest of the day :-)

I have to start with this cute video clip from breakfast this morning.  Oliver, like his Uncle Jeff, loves puzzles.  This one is from Toy Story.  He has to get the four characters and lead them through the maze to the exit.  He's getting so good!  Listen carefully to what he has to say at the very end.  "I DID IT!"

Climbing the Hay Stack. Oliver and the Hay Stack.  The pictures say just about everything.  The only thing it might not show is how busy Oliver was tonight.  I'm pleased that we were able to get these pictures and that they aren't blurry! Walking around the Hay Stack. I think I asked him if he wanted to eat. Oliver and Gigi. Gigi, Oliver and Papa! Pumpkins!!!

Today was amazing - Oliver hung out with   me all day!  We fed the turtles, he drank chocolate milk and made bubbles, drove his "car", climbed on tree stumps, played with the neighbor cat, smelled and counted flowers, watched Up and played World of Goo and Toy Story Barn Maze on the IPad.  I took a few pics of the adventures today.  Also, I am attaching a fairly recent pic of the girls with  their cousin Adrianne.  Enjoy! Oliver made bubbles with his milk and put this pug there. Feeding the turtles! Driving his "car"! He really likes his car. He climbed up on this stump. Befriending the neighbor's cat, Meowsie. He took time to stop and smell the flowers. The other neighbor's "cat"! Counting flowers. Lennon and Coeur d'Lane with cousin Adrianne.

How sweet!  Coeur d'Lane and Lennon sitting on a 1000 pound pumpkin! Oliver went to see the Orthopedic doctor yesterday.  They put a hard cast on his arm.  They will see how he's healing in about two weeks.  Here are some pics of the last couple of days. Oliver and his green cast! Big girl!  Coeur d'Lane showing off her great head control! Oliver and Gigi goofing off. Michael and Oliver Terk signing Oliver's cast. Oliver still not sure about Terk. We were very close to this giraffe on the safari ride. Jeff, Oliver and a goat. Oliver brushing the goat. Mike and Jeff waiting for the pig to come to the fence.

Pick the answer that best describes the picture to the left.  Accurate answers are assumed to be from parents of climbers. 1.  Mike and Oliver decided to take the IPad to the ER.  After all, he's two and it's something he hasn't done yet. 2.  Oliver begged his dad for a dinosaur and this was the best he could come up with at such a late hour. 3.  Oliver fell in an attempt to climb onto the bathroom sink, likely trying to find his gummy vitamins or to eat toothpaste or whatever 2 years old like to eat.  No one can be sure but what we can be sure of is gravity took over and he was found on the floor.    If you selected 3 you are correct.  This mountain climber will be grounded until we know for sure if his elbow is fractured.  ER doc is pretty certain.  Orthopedic doc to decide on Thursday.

Lennon  The Girls had a pediatrician visit today.  They turned 10 weeks old yesterday.  Coeur weighs 9 pounds and is 21 inches long while Lennon is 8 pounds 6 ounces and is 19 inches long. Oliver came over after lunch and hung out.  He went back to the Game Room with Uncle Jeff.  A few minutes later this is the picture I got with the caption - "chillin' like a villian".  Haha!  He does look comfortable.

Oliver trying on Gigi's shoes. Oliver loves trains!  He took the books off the shelf, lined them up saying choo-choo, choo-choo! Coeur d'Lane trying to nap with her bow & skeleton outfit. Lennon rockin' the outfit! Coeur d'Lane and Lennon napping. Coeur napping. Coeur is very good at lifting her head. Her "Pea" costume.  She LOVES it! Coeur looking awesome! Lennon "Bug" underwhelmed with her costume. Lennon - bright-eyed Lennon and Coeur in their Woombies! Four generations
