A trip to prompt care in Champaign to see why Gwen was saying "Owwwie" and not using her right arm turned into an x ray showing a fractured elbow, a trip to the Children's Hospital in Peoria, more X rays, a night in the hospital, an MRI, and now waiting around to see if she needs just a cast or surgery! We should know tonight. Gwen is a tough girl because she falls so much, we don't even know what exact fall caused the fracture.

Recent Events
Gwen is silly as ever. She says the funniest things and loves to "perform" for people. Her new thing is to stand on my mom and dad's fireplace mantle like it's a stage and dance or sing (as good as a 1 year old can sing).
We have made 2 trips to Morton without Adam, since he is busy busy finishing our house.
Kristie came to visit from Texas. I was so happy she came. She helped a ton with the kids! We got to take Leo over to her brother in law's house, whose wife had a baby boy 3 days before Leo. They both are boys, both are bald, and look a lot alike.
Leo is 1 month old now! Time flies, he is awake a lot more and focuses on your face (eyes crossed sometimes :) and tries to listen to what you are saying. Adam has a hard time staying awake since he works about 20 hours/day between his job and our house. We will both be SOOOO happy when this is all over!
I have been trying to take the kids on at least one outing per day since Leo has been born. I get bored staying home all day and Gwen does too. She thinks going somewhere is called shopping, so she asks to go coffee shopping (to the coffee house) when she wants to leave home. We have been going to the library, MOPS, Target, etc. We had a playdate at McDonald's playland yesterday with Makayla.
Finally, we spend a lot of time in PJ's; me drinking coffee, the kids drinking their appropriate milk. I love morning time with them. Leo's usually awake for a good hour or two and so happy, Gwen's in a good mood after a good night's sleep, and I am happy to have such a great family!

Easter!
Visitors!
Gwen got to see lots of people she loves and Leo got to meet them too this week! Grandpa Erwin came to work a lot this weekend, so before Adam went to work with him on his birthday, they got to have a breakfast together! Love how they have matching morning bedhead :)
We had Darah, Kristen, Mara and Parker here. So happy to see them. It's so cool to have one of my best friends have kids the exact same age as mine. I hope they have as much fun growing up together as Kristen and I had!

Busy Busy Family of 4
Life's going good for us, but busier than ever. We had Leo's newborn pictures, a few doctor's appointments, I had to go to the DMV, Adam's working on the house and working his main job, plus everyday things like taking care of the kids, cleaning, cooking, etc. My mom got here Wednesday and is leaving today but has been a huge help. We have managed to make some outings with both kids for lunch and to the coffee shop. I also have got to spend some 1 on 1 time with Gwen running errands, going outside, going for walks while my mom watches Leo. Adam and I even got to go out to dinner for his birthday. Wish me luck as tomorrow is my first day alone with both kids! Gwen's adjusting really well and I don't think having a little brother has been too traumatizing for her :)
