Cast, Part 2

BEFORE

AFTER

Mikey got his first cast off today... unfortunately, they said it's not done healing yet, so they put another one on! The blue one is signed by all of his soccer team buddies and the coaches; Mikey said he's going to get the new one signed by his friends at church. See the whole batch of pictures of him getting the old cast cut off and the new one put on here!

He'll go back in three weeks, get another X-ray, and probably get the cast off for good.

New Baby for the Trac*'s!

Last night we got a call that Cathy's lifelong friend Tracie was having her baby by emergency C-section. By the time we got to the hospital, the drama was over and her husband (Tracy) was in the nursery room with the new baby, who is not named Tracie or Tracy:



They've been trying for a LONG time to have this baby, and he's a real answer to prayer. Congratulations, guys!!!

Stand Up And Dance!

Here's Cathy dancing with Shannon Bain:



Look for her between 3:47-4:00. If you rewind back to 3:45, you can catch another glimpse of striped-shirt Where's Waldo me!

(For the record, I think Shannon could actually walk the whole time!)

I shake hands with Michael Tait

I found some Michael & Cathy relics on YouTube:



If you watch at about 2:50 into the video, you will see me (in a striped shirt) shake hands with Michael Tait! I'll post the video of Cathy dancing with a different one of the characters tomorrow...!

To Boldly Go Where One Boy Has Gone Before

This week, Cathy dug up Mikey's old potty to see if Hannah wanted to try it out. She loves it! She's been using the potty pretty regularly for several days now! Not bad at all for only 16½ months old!

She's also been WALKING this week! She can walk all the way across our or Meme's living room all by herself. Every day she gets more and more stable. Needless to say, we're pretty excited!

Grandpas and Grandmas, take note

Yesterday my grandpa got a phone call from some people who almost had him convinced that I had been in a car wreck in Canada and needed him to send me $6,000 via untraceable money order, without telling any family members. Apparently there are a bunch of jerks calling older people at random, using social-engineering tricks to find out the name of a grandchild, and then duping them out of cash. AARP knows about this scam, and there was even an article about it in the Tulsa World a few days ago. So if you have grandchildren, don't be duped! Call them back on their regular phone number. Don't assume you're being told the truth.
