Is October Over Yet?






Well, until now I did not have much to post about. But with the events around here lately, they seemed blog worthy to me. We started off this month in Michigan visiting family. Ella caught Hand Foot and Mouth disease (not to be confused with hoof and mouth disease), she had been exposed to it the week before we left and I thought she was in the clear until the morning we were leaving. She was pitiful, we managed to have a great trip, even though Joe caught it and we also passed it to family members in MI. Coming home I thought we would be in the clear of anymore events, until the other night.........Josephine was walking around the house with a blanket on her head(that's normal right?) and somehow managed to hit her chin on the coffee table, It took her 3o min to calm down and I seriously thought she broke her chin( can you even do that?) going to the emergency room crossed our mind, but she calmed down and now has a nasty bruise. While we were calming Josephine down, Ella managed to fall off the kitchen chair and hit her head on the floor......she started one of those cries that you can't hear that lasted for what felt like 5 minutes.....she calmed down and we checked her eyes for dilation and she was fine, I was still worried to put her to bed. Everything was uneventful until last night when Ella managed to close her own finger in the laundry room door, she closed it all the way. We thought she broke it, it was smashed and misshapen and swelling. She has never cried like that before and we could not calm her down, we decided to head for the emergency room at 8:00 last nite, we called Jim and Krista to see if we could drop Josephine off at their house. We got in the car and of course we were on E (Joe was not very happy with me). By the time we got gas and arrived at J & K's, Ella was smiling and starting to bend her finger. By the time she saw Max and Julianna we new she was fine. This morning Josephine woke up and said that she felt sick and not long after she got sick......I am praying that she is OK......she's been completely fine ever since then. Well that has been October so far for us. Anymore injuries in this house, we may get a visit from the Authorities!!!!:)
