The Good News

"Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had,

and dealing with fears you didn't know existed."

Jacob has, I mean had, a broken collarbone.

Mother of the Year.

I know exactly when it happened, but I had no idea.

We thought we had checked him over completely after he fell off his little art desk. He likes to climb on it to look out the front window. Poor guy.

The good news:

Thankfully his collarbone healed itself - and healed well. The callus it formed is normal and will eventually go away.

Took Ethan to his school today to drop off all his supplies and to find his locker. 2nd year of Middle School - and play practice will be starting soon too. Ethan is going to be in Guys and Dolls this Fall.

Tonight at Tumbling class our little Rachel did 3 back flips in a row and got to ring the bell. I called Tom and he was so sad to have missed it. He was just pulling into the parking lot. He came in and soon we saw Miss Rachel do 4 black flips in a row. Tom got to see her ring the bell that time. What a great night at Tumbling!

Now Leah wants to work really hard at her kick overs so she can ring the bell for the first time. She'll get there.

Tomorrow we will have a 2 year old in the house.

Jacob will be 2 and we are celebrating with a little party.

We are also going to celebrate Tom's dad's birthday.

It's fair.

Jacob shares his birthday with one of his grandpa's and his name with his other grandpa.

Sarah's birthday is later this month so the party will be for her too.

Praying for a fun, wonderful day.
