| Erin's 8th birthday...out of school early, lunch with me and Aunt Rachel, pedicures and cake! We love our girl, beautiful on the inside and out... |
 |
| Kam's first haircut with Aunt Rachel. Aunt Rachel kidnapped her for her first trim...only got one shot cause this hair takes years to grow! LOL at this do. |
 |
| Brooke's make shift bed... |
 |
| Poor Snuggy... |
 |
| Brooke at lunch with her friend Ellie... |
 |
| Our 17 hour drive to Steamboat...in a BLIZZARD...this pic was taken before we were in it...scariest drive ever as we crossed Raton Pass and cars were swirling out of control...Erin reminded us to pray...God protected. |
 |
| Steamboat! Erin will be skiing better than me next year! Bittersweet! Had to keep her out of the trails in the trees...she and dad make a dangerous duo out there! |
 |
| Mom and Dad came with us...both got to ski! |
 |
| ER after first day of skiing...compound fracture from discovering and observing her love of icicles...they just happened to be hanging underneath the rooftop that she slid over so that she could get a better view... :( Bravest girl ever. |
 |
| You can see the break if you look at the middle of her forearm...that's what I saw after she told me she broke her arm, but maybe it would get better if it just 'rested'. We also learned that even a 6 year old doesn't want pity...just empathy and mostly encouragement. After Brooke heard repeatedly "I'm sorry' and "bless your heart', she said, "please stop saying that, you're making it worse'. |
 |
| Both forearm bones broken in her left arm. One poked through the skin, but they didn't know that until the operation began. |
 |
| 2 1/2 hour surgery...kept her overnight because her osat was below 90...when we saw here she looked like she had run a marathon in 100 degree heat...surgeon said it was a 'work out' to get those rods in her bones... |
 |
| Two rods later...and another surgery to come... |
 |
| Despite her injury, she enjoyed the rest of her vacation! Hot chocolate, smores, movies, and family time :) |
 |
| Kam's did great in ski school...skied her first green with dad on the last day! |
 |
| Erin at the top of the mountain...able to ski any blue in Steamboat! |

Poor Brookie. It hurts to look at. But she is such a strong and happy little girl that I am so glad she took it so well!! Love the picture of her and Ellie too--- food in the mouth and mismatched clothes---you can tell Dad gets her ready for school on Fridays. :)
