Showers, magic, & pineapples

Ahhh summer a time of rest, relaxation and naps in the shade, and if you are caught doing any of these things you are likely to be roasted on the spot. Time is getting tight for a number of major events. Geoff's maigc show "Hypothesis" is nearly upon us. Sarah, Anna, and George have been putting in a great deal of effort getting everything in order. Max will again be doning the pineapple outfit. Geeze I hope all this fame doesn't go to his head.

Sonja's Tacoma wedding shower has come and gone. With less than two months to go the roller coaster ride is bound to only get faster until the big day arrives, at which point everything will go efing smoothly and according to plan. I even typed that with a straight face. At this point the lovely pair are attending a couple's retreat for the weekend.

Our peg legged little one has grown use to his cast. Which is now adorned in signitures and artwork. He is now putting weight back on that leg. Sarah has tried a few different methods to even out his asymetric height gain from the cast. She recently went out and bought the thickest soled shoe she could find for his other foot. Geoff's girlfriend Terri brought over some self adhesive foam to try and give his slick cast some traction on the hardwood floor. Its still a work in progress.

Up to speed

For those who have not heard yet, our little guy Max had a little stumble over at a friends house. Resulting in a fracture of his fibia and possible tibia.

I had a hard time seeing where the actual fracture was on the x-ray. It is at the bottom of his shine bones but not on the growth plate. The doctor said this should not impede his development at all, whew!

As is the case with most medical occurrences, more time was spent in the waiting room than the actual medical procedure. Though Max sure didn't mind, you would have hardly known he had any sort of fracture the way he was cruising around the lobby. Max was quite fascinated with the stain glass art work. But all good things must come to an end, for after an hour and a half in the lobby or in other terms nearly a full viewing of "The Incredibles" we were finally called to see the doctor.

Oh boy! was Max not a happy camper from here on out. From previous check ups Max has developed a healthy dislike of anyone resembling a medical practitioner and has the lungs to let you know it. Luckily the nurses who put the cast on were very efficient and quick. In just a few minutes Max was sporting the latest in green fiberglass fashion and we were on our way home. Max hardly seems bothered by his new found accessory, he zooms just like he did before, except now he has a battering ram attached to his foot.

Joining the mix

...but all the cool kids are doing it.
And with that Sarah & I are jumping on the band wagon. From here we hope to keep folks somehwhat up to speed on the happenings that are going on in our little yellow house in fircrest. Jeeze I hope that not infringing on anyone else. Ok ok we admit its just another platform to plaster a bunch of pictures of Max on the web.
