She can go swimming, but no jumping in. She can swing, but no climbing or monkey bars. She can start her ballet/tap class in two weeks, but no additional activities. She is suppose to drink lots of fluids and sleep and rest as much as she wants.

A day without a van
Well, they are coming to tow our van in the morning to get it worked on. We are going to try to go without a rental for the week. Chad takes public transportation, so he is ok. So we will see how I do without a car. Today since we couldn't drive to church, Tyler read from the Bible and lead a discussion, Chad lead the prayer, and Angela lead the song. It was very nice. Then this evening all 4 of us walked to a restaurant for supper and then to Kroger. Wow that was a walk!! It felt good to get out and walk. We walked close to 2 miles. (Rose rode in the stroller)
I guess we will not be able to go on our regular Wednesday field trip this week....although I think the pool will be a good replacement.

Rose's first visit to the chiropractor
Rose and I went to see Dr Jody. She is Andrew's mom and our good friend. She had us come in since we were in that wreck on Thursday. Rose did such a good job letting Jody adjust her. It amazes me how well she can work on my back. We will both be going back in next week too.

My Thursday...
Well Rose had a doctors appointment today. And she was such a big girl! They did a check up and gave her a shot...she didn't cry or anything. They had her wear this nifty paper gown during the physical.
But then it turned into a whirlwind...she wants her to see a dermatologists for her birthmark and black streak of hair on her head...okay....that is do-able. Then I hear words like possible lead poisoning..and...possible leukemia....and I need to take her to a lab to get some blood work done. What? I thought at the worst she might have mono or something. Anyways I think it is a case of -ok let's check just to be safe rather than sorry...but still...how is a mom suppose to feel? ...I'm practically numb.
When we left the doctor I needed to take a few minutes to breathe before going over to LabCorp. So we stop by the grocery store to walk (without being in 100 degree temps) and take a moment to breathe. Rose was such a cutie at the store...here she is -Stopping to smell the flowers. She is too cute! My love for her is immeasurable!
Okay then we go to get her blood drawn...the nurse moves the needle around after it is inserted (you know how much that HURTS) She had to be held down but Rose didn't cry. She said that it really hurt. And afterwards asked why they did that. She was a little upset (grumpy) for about 10 minutes, but then perked back up to her regular joyful self.
She was being a sweetheart on the drive home......Then ..oh no! the traffic comes to a stop and I hit the car in front of me!
What a day..... My body is so sore and I just want to go to bed. I feel like a walking zombie, but the day is not over and there is still stuff to do (dishes, cleaning-up, lesson planning, etc). I think I will let everything wait though, so I can go play CandyLand and Memory with a sweet little girl and watch a movie she picked out and get a few extra hugs tonight....
PS - Thanks Chad for cooking supper tonight and picking up my slack.

Wednesday's Field Trip...
Todays field trip we went to Monkey Joe's. And I forgot my camera:( I am at a loss without pictures from today. (so I put in links instead) But I can tell you we had a good time. Rose, Tyler, Andrew and Chad jumped and played, went down the slides, and through the obstacle courses. It was nice having Chad there to play with them. Tyler got to use this as his PE today...and he sure did get a workout....isn't home school great!!
Speaking of home school, Rose and Andrew started their 07-08 new school year today. We had so much fun "doing" school today with all the new stuff.
After our field trip we got to eat out at our favorite pizza place - Mellow Mushroom - yummy!

A cutie on the choo-choo train
Family day today. We spent the day together before Chad has to start back in classes. We hung out at the house, went to the church library (I think Rose could stay there forever looking at books and having us read to her), played on the indoor playground at church (in the photo you can see Tyler reading a book while Rose played), then we went to the movies (this time With popcorn!), and back home for an evening of playing games, swimming, and hanging out with each other.

Back from our trip
We had a good time in Kentucky. We traveled on Tuesday and got to Kristie's at about 1:30 AM Wednesday morning. On Wednesday, the kids jumped on the trampoline and played. Jen and her kids came over. We all had a fun day together. Then we went to mom and dad's farm. Rose enjoyed seeing the puppies, dogs, and goats. Riding on the ranger was fun for her too.... loved playing with all of her cousins.
While we were up there I went to Shonda's baby shower...she was in my youth group when I was a youth minister at Crittenden Baptist. She has been married for 3 yrs and is now having a baby...that kind of makes me feel older. I also got to see Jaclyn, another one of my former youth, who is having a baby, too. It was so good to see them both. And to see many people from the church up there. That church is always home to me.
Since we added extra foam padding to Rose's car seat and switched it to the booster, she rides and sleeps much better during the drive.
While we were up there Tyler got to go camping with his mom, stepdad, and siblings. I think he enjoyed it.
Oh, and of course we had a bon fire while we were up there... roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. It was nice being with my family. It was a very good trip!
