Smarty pants

Just because one arm isn't as usable, doesn't mean our little man can't have his fun. I love how he figured out how to keep on truckin'

Mommy's fault

I guess I can give a little info on how poor Jack got broken. This is a picture of the infamous bench in the gazebo - the one Jack fell off when Mommy was facing the opposite direction. He landed on his foot first, but came down on his hand. Both bones in his forearm were fractured.
They are very straight now and we're told that it won't affect his growth at all.
Luckily we had already hunted down all the Easter eggs (Dad wouldn't call it lucky.... :) ).
The ladies in this pic are party goers. I hope they don't mind that I've used this photo. :)

Froggy Monster

Here are a couple of videos. Jack is starting to get used to the cast and playing around more. I think it's probably just not hurting as much.

Boxer Boy

Just because he's making this face doesn't mean he was forced into this box. He played in it for a long time! One perk of moving.

Chronicles of a broken boy

Well, here it is. Proof of my marvelous mothering skills. :) These are pictures of the splint. He just got his real cast on - which was awful - so I'll have to post more later.
He's doing well with it. Sleeping is still a problem. It's hard to get comfy with a heavy, stiff arm.

March Madness

I wonder how many people have used that title in their blogs this month. I know, I'm so original. :)
Well it's been a while, but Pete and I have been busy. We got back from the Pioneer Trek this week (and barely survived) and we found out we're moving to Denver. Lots of fun stuff going on. But, I couldn't go any longer without adding a few fun times.
We went to the arboretum with friends, and you can't tell in the shot of Jack by the fish pond, but he is bawling. I wouldn't let him go in the water.
His first Easter Peep.
You know your 18-month-old is tiny when he can fit in a shoe box (which he did on his own).

Trapped

Haha - I had to post these right away. We just got home from the park and Jack loves the tunnel where he and I can play peek-a-boo. Well, the other boys soon figured out the fun and joined Jack in the tunnel. That didn't go over well. He was stuck in the middle and started whining! :) I think it's hilarious. Really, really hilarious.

Bubble Mania

BUMMER - due to some technical difficulty (that I am not able to figure out), I can't get this video to stay up. I am able to watch it, but then it closes down. Oh well.

Slacker

I've kind of been a slacker with the photos lately - as well as the blog posting.
Things are good in the Simpson house. We're in the process of finding out where Pete will be doing a residency. Just when we had officially started counting down the days until we leave Texas, Pete heard that the lady he did a rotation with has a residency open. Soooooo, we'll have to see where fate leads us.
Here are a couple of picks of Jack. Our sweet little man.

Family Cram

I can't resist these photo booths, but I rarely see them anymore. We had to take the opportunity when we could. :) They're not made for adults though! We were totally slumped down with our feet poking out the sides. So fun!
