No More Monkeys Swinging From the Bars

Pre splint
Well, it finally happened, a bone has been broken in the Finneman household! (I've been anticipating this since the girls were born due to their monkey-climbing ways!) The monkey bars sent C to the Emergency Room where 2 fractures in her right arm were discovered. She was a very cooperative patient despite her fears of going to the hospital! She will most likely be in a splint or cast for the next 6 weeks, practically the rest of the summer!! Sooo...our summer plans have been quickly altered and the new challenge is to find activities that don't involve gross motor or swimming pools......suggestions anyone? :)

Oh, boy! We will pray for a fast recovery. Looks like some serious crafting will be coming your way; painting, puzzles, fusion beads, board games, stickers...We'll help think of some great ideas.

I'm so sorry! Bryce did that 2 years ago...you'll be amazed at what she can do with it in a couple weeks. The Ladybug walks in Portland might be fun. They are on every Friday and some Saturdays.

Oh Miss Claire ... your injury rang some familiar bells as your Dad did the same thing when he was a little older than you!! We just hope that, although this will keep you down for awhile, it will not dampen your climbin' spirit!! We love you doll!!
