Happy Birthday Emily!

This has definitely been a birthday

to remember for Emily. Unfortunately,

it hasn't all been good!

We had planned on going to

Nashville Shores on her birthday

to participate in her gymnastics

performance out there. We planned

on bringing 4 of her friends with her

for a birthday celebration out there too!

Well, it didn't go quite as planned. We

all came down with a stomach virus that

killed any birthday activities for the

entire weekend. That also included

postponing her family party. We

rescheduled that party for the next

weekend and here are a couple of

pictures from that shindig! Princess Emily!
What a haul!

The story of the birthday of

all birthday continues. We were

able to reschedule the trip to

Nashville Shores for last weekend.

All her friends were going to be

able to go. Yipee I thought. I

should have known it wouldn't go

as I'd planned for. On Monday, the

18th, Emily broke her right arm in

gymnastics class. I wasn't there, but

one of the Mom's told me that everyone

heard it snap. Monday night was spent

at the ER and found ourselves in a splint

for a couple of days until the swelling

went down. She broke both bones just

below her elbow.

So much for Nashville Shores....an outdoor

swimming, water slides and beach park.

We ended up going to the zoo and had a

great time. Probably not as much fun

as Nashville Shores, but still lots of fun

and giggling girls.

Emily got her new cast yesterday. The

doctor has given her the green light for

any and all activities that her broken arm

will allow for. Obviously no gymnastics and

no swimming, but we are a go for roller

skating in PE and dance class that starts

next week. Look for pictures soon!
