Grandbaby #7!

Tuesday, Nov. 6, was little Luci Ellen's debut. She weighed in at 8#4oz. Pat and Angie think they got a "mellow one" this time. She's a doll. We visited Wednesday night. On Tuesday, I was with Grace and Jack at home. The word came from Daddy about 6:30. They were so excited they didn't know what to do, so they ran around the house and Grace jumped off an ottoman and banged her cheek. We went from laughter to tears pretty quick. Gracie loves her new sister. So do Grandma and Grandpa!

Jack's going to show Luci how to make glove balloons.
She's so tired!

Angie unwrapped her to wake her up for a meal.

Grace had a hard time leaving mama that night. But Mom and baby went home Thursday.

Corn Shuckin on the family farm

Well, if you've read Erin's blog, you've seen a lot of similar pictures. But she doesn't have puppy pics, so here's a look at the fun last week at our farm. Jack loved these little guys. That's his windblown grandma looking on.

Kate was there, too!

The big, blue bandage

Jack broke his right leg and is in a temporary cast from hip to ankle. He didn't move much yesterday, but tonight had figured out how to scoot, and army crawl around.

The bad news is that he has to be carried from spot to spot and to the bathroom. Angie can't lift him, so Pat is staying close by.

Not another broken bone!!!

Pat called on his way to Children's Mercy with Jack. He broke his right leg on the merry-go-round at preschool. The same preschool where Grace broke her arm in June...How's the supervision there??
