The Spring Break Adventure

So the one thing I didn't mention in my spring break blog from yesterday was the little extra adventure...A broken wrist!!!
   That's right! The 2nd day in Louisiana Makayla fell off an electric scooter and broke her wrist. It had been a beautiful day,we went to dinner with one side of the family and went back to our Memes house and we were all outside talking and visiting and the kids pulled out the electric scooter and the rest is history! She barely even cried, in fact she cried more about the road rash on her leg than her arm. I didn't even take her to the ER right away, that's how little she complained. However, about two hours later the wrist started looking really funny and swollen. Off to the ER we went! (thanks to my mom for hanging out with us)

Here we are at ER still in good spirits

The x-ray confirming the broken wrist

All wrapped up and ready to go home.

The next day we saw an orthopedic in Shreveport who looked her over and put a plaster cast on it to get us home....

Day 2

We saw our doctor as soon as we got back in town and he sent us to a pediatric orthopedic. The good news is it doesn't need to be set or any surgery! YAY! Praise God. It is broken all the way through so she will spend about 6 weeks in a cast and maybe 3 more in a brace. She is doing really well, she has little pain and is adjusting to not using her right hand.

On Monday we marked week 2 with a new purple cast!

Spring Break 2012

We had a wonderful Spring Break. We went back to our hometown. I have not been home in almost two years! I cant believe it had been that long.  The kids and I left Amarillo on Friday at noon  and headed to Dallas to meet my dear friend  and her girls. The first thing the kids did was hit the pool!

The next morning Lego Land and the aquarium.

Lunch at The Rain Forest Cafe

We headed to Shreveport that night, where the spoiling began.

Girls Night Out at Painting With A Twist

This game  is called Wah Hoo, James family is playing playing it for generations.

Of course we played tourist. Doesn't he look like a big guy holding that gator?

We had to bribe James Henry to touch it and as you can see, he touched it with one finger!

The Lorax (that's a big group)

We spoiled our nephews by taking them toy shopping!

We went to my Dear Friend Ashley's house and the boys fished.

We enjoyed the view

We loved the family time and memories made

Going home this trip was so different for me. I really wanted it to be about spending time with the people I love. It was very nostalgic. I grew up there, survived there, Fell in love with and married James there, moved away, sought refuge there, and I love so many people there. Louisiana holds many memories for me and it was so good to go back and reflect on what God has done for me. It was nice to set back and see God's beauty, Louisiana is so beautiful. I thank God so much for carrying me through my life and for ultimately being my refuge and my light. I thank him for giving my kids so many people that love them. 

Awesome Weather Sunday!

Yesterday, the weather was beautiful! It was just an all around beautiful day! So what else are my guys to do after a long cold winter?
