Chipping away

So it must be obvious that blogging is not my favorite thing to do. I'm too much of a perfectionist, and I want it to be witty and thoughtful. Well I'm just going to have to get over that and do it more often. So here is my attempt at chipping away at the last year.

Fletcher broke his arm (this year) playing on the monkey bars. Apparently, they were trying to run and jump to the fourth rung after successfully making the third rung. Fletcher said he didn't want to do it, but Natalie dared him. Great, he succumbs to peer pressure.
It was a Friday afternoon and I got the call from his school around 3:30. They said he fell and then did not want to keep playing. Not good, he will do just about anything to be able to play with his friends. By the time I picked him up he seemed okay and was able to move his wrist. However, the x-ray showed a hairline fracture, but that was not until 5:30 on a Friday afternoon. Perfect timing! We put him in a splint for the weekend and waited to see the orthopedist (who we obviously need to put on speed dial). He got the cast Monday afternoon May 28 just in time for summer. It kept us out of the pool for a month....

but not out of the river! Fletcher and Mark went to MS for Memorial Day (I went to CA for a wedding). I was horrified when he told we they had been out on the wave runner, but luckily no one fell off.

Fletcher and his cousin, Gray, had a blast together. It is a bummer that we don't live closer because they two LOVE each other.

They both only know one speed, so they go hard and fast...and neither was able to escape the day without a nap.

Fletcher has decided that we need TWO wave runners of our own. One for he and Daddy and another for me. I will fight this as long as I can.
