Almost Better!

Noah had his 2 week, follow-up x-ray today. He is healing wonderfully and can resume full activities in two weeks. It really only bothers him now if something hits it really hard. Here is his newest x-ray. No, he didn't swallow any pieces of metal. Those are the metal pieces of his clavicle brace!
We had a nice, cool weekend. We went from record highs to record lows in the matter of a day! It has been a nice treat to have these few cool days. Wednesday we head back toward our normal mid-80's for this time of year. Sure beats the mid-90's! Saturday the boys had their soccer pictures and games in the morning. Will and Noah's team won and Ethan's team tied. After the soccer game, Melissa and I went on a nice, long bike ride. We traveled down a road that the "real bikers" bike down. We have seen the road bikers travel down that road several times and I was curious what the appeal was. It was a cute little country road with lots of farm animals, citrus groves, a tilapia farm, etc. It has was very windy and hilly! Yesterday, while Ethan was out with his friend Pamela, the rest of us went Halloween costume shopping. I couldn't convince any of them to be something I wanted them to be! Where are the days when I could dress them up as whatever I wanted?!? After shopping, the boys headed to a birthday party and Chris and I headed to the beach for lattes. I had a delicious pumpkin latte. I love the tastes of fall!

Noah's Clavicle

Noah had a biking accident on Saturday evening. We rode bikes to Blockbuster and on the way home he flipped over his bike going full speed and landed on his shoulder. He was wincing in pain, which he never does, so I knew something was wrong. By today, it still wasn't feeling right so we went to the doctor. Sure enough, he broke his right clavicle. Sadly, he can't write. He also can't eat with his right hand! It bugs him the most while he is sleeping. The doctor said it should heal fine and put him in a clavicle strap for at least four weeks. I think the strap bugs Noah more than the break! It is itching him like crazy. He goes back in two weeks for x-rays to ensure it is healing properly.

hApPy OcToBeR!

I'm so excited that it is October. Besides the fact that it is still insanely hot in Florida, October is my favorite month.

Here is one just one reason!!!!We went to the beach this morning. Yes, one benefit of it being hot still! The water was super clear today. You could see all the way to the bottom even when you got out far. Ethan was happy so he could be sure he wasn't stepping on any crabs.
Noah's shoulder is still bothering him, so he spent much of his time at the beach doing this!
Ethan and Pamela were being ghost hunters this afternoon. This is what they documented.
Here is the same area without any ghosts present.
The boys reminded us that October had arrived and it was time to get out the Halloween decorations. Here is their festive dinner set up!
