Will we look back at this picture and smile when Simon starts for Manchester United?

End of a great season
Yesterday afternoon was Simon's last soccer game for the season. It was a very chilly, raining afternoon but Simon was so excited to get his trophy at the end of the game!

Kaylee the lion. What a cutie!
Enjoying cupcakes way too close to bedtime!
We had a halloween party Friday night at our house. Simon has asked me for weeks if we could have a "Halloween birthday party." He said it is a party without presents. We enjoyed pizza, lots of chocolate goodies, a game, and a halloween art project. Enjoy the pictures.

We had a great time, Aunt Melissa
fishing at Totter Otterville
My little helperMy sister, Melissa, came to visit Wednesday-Saturday evening. We had a great time. We went to Totter Otterville in Covington. Simon went there several months ago with his preschool and he has talked about it ever since and I was curious about this, "really cool place."
Melissa also enjoyed watch Simon play soccer on Saturday and him score his first goal!

Nurse Maid's Elbow?
Am I the only person that never has heard of this, that is prior to midnight on Tues/Wed.
I received a call from Sarah's babysitter on Tuesday morning and Alma said that Sarah had fallen between the couch and the chair and when she picked her up, she felt and heard a pop. Sarah cried for a few seconds and then seemed fine but she would not use her right arm. Alma called me and I came over at lunch. Sarah was her usual happy self but still would not use her arm. Joseph and I decided to call and make an appt for the next morning with Dr. Latham to get it checked out. By the time dinner rolled around, I still couldn't believe she would not use her arm. I decided to call the after hours nurse and explain the situation. She called the MD on call and he said it sounded like nurse maid's elbow a.k.a. a dislocated elbow. He stated the less time the better for reduction (popping back into place) The nurse said the peds twilight clinic was full and she said we would have to go the ER. I couldn't believe it, I was headed to the ER for an injury to my baby who has never been sick, not even an ear infection and God only knows what we virus or illness she would acquire while we were there.
After three hours, two MD's, they were stumped. Sarah showed zero sign of pain with manipulation. So after x-rays, another doctor was in to see us and he was convinced it was dislocated. He wanted to dose her up with Motrin, wait 45 min and reduce the dislocation. So, about 1:30am, and 30 second scream, Sarah was back to normal. We were home by 2am and I was wired so I didn't hit the sack until 3am.
We went to see Dr. Latham on Wednesday morning and he said this is common and he showed me how to reduce it myself because she is at risk, especially the next few weeks, that it may happen again.

Can I reminisce for just a moment...
My parents were in town today for a doctor's appt and my mom gave me a disc of the pictures she has taken over the last year. 
Grandpa and Sarah with Waldo watching every move. Both Maggie and Waldo are very watchful of Sarah and Simon.
Here is the work of art that my mom did for Simon's birthday party.
Our angel at about 8 weeks old
Sarah only about one hour old. I am so glad I got this picture because I didn't think I had any in the nursery at the hospital.
My sister and brother hard at work on Simon room. Melissa designed and drew the trains but David helped paint. He refuses to take any credit but he put in several hours of work that weekend.
A very prego Mommy to be at Thanksgiving. I should have known then that I was desided for another 9+ pound baby.

Happy Birthday Ella!
We had a great time on Saturday at Ella's birthday party. It was at build-a-bear and then a picnic lunch at the park. Here is Ella with Simon and another friend from school, Lilly.

Father/Son Trip
photography by Simon (he wanted me to see the hotel room)
It has taken me a few days to get them posted but last Wednesday and Thursday Joseph and I Simon went on their first father son overnight trip. They went to Mammoth Cave, stayed overnight in a hotel and then went to the Patton Museum at Fort Knox the next day.
Simon's highlight was "eating pizza in the bed and eating Fruit Loops and Cheetos for breakfast." In defense of Joseph, Simon found and ate the Cheetos while Joseph was in the shower or that is the story they planned together and told me.

Joseph's highlight was the fact that Simon loved the Patton Museum. I have learned to accept that my children will likely be soldiers.
