Day with Thomas the Train

Long over due update...

So i know i need to back fill some dates so I can go back and remember them. Poor Ava has so few milestones logged.

Today was her Baptism and I'll post something for that soon, but she gave us a surprise last night. A week ago she start pushing herself around backwards but tonight that evolved into a full fledged crawl. Good Job Ava! 8 months and 25 days.

Sick kids

Got a call from Julie telling me Russ had cut his lip pretty bad. She went to sick kids and I met here there.

Cut his lip was sort of an understatement. When I saw Russ, his lower lip on the bottom of his mouth was cut all the way through. The funny thing was he really didn't seem to think anything of it. He's sucking his thumb and playing with toys in the office waiting to see the doctor.

The advantage if going to a big hospital like sick kids is they have specialists for everything. Julie was concerned that Russ would have a permanent scar. They had a plastic surgeon do the stitches. He said the muscle had also torn so to put everything back together was about 20 stitches. The only things that bothered Russ was not eating for 8 hours and getting the IV put in. Aside from that he was fine. The worse part for me was when they sedated him and see his eyes sort of roll and see the little guy pass out. It was heartbreaking.

Thankfully Russ really doesn't complain or fuss with the wound.

The longest movie ever....

So about two months ago Julies mom stayed over so it was a chance to go see a movie. Went to see Avatar. Just as they are about to attackthe tree the theatre goes dead. They give us some vouchers to come back but when is that actually going to happen. Julie eventually went with Deanne to see it again buti didn't want to use up a night out to see 2/3rds of a movie I've already seen.

Anyways enroute to Mexico with no 3d and on a 10inch screen. Finshed it. Pretty good.

Up next.... Ninja assasins.

I guess we're supporting the Cowboys

Now that New England is out, the Tabata's will be supporting the Cowboys for the rest of the NFL season. If it works out for them, Ava will be getting a Leaf's Onesie.

Happy Girl
