My orange cast

Tate sure knows how to start the summer off! We have had a lot of fun the past two weeks of our vacation, but this week Tate and Bentli were holding hands jumping on the trampoline (of course), and they fell on each other. Bentli fared a lot better than Tate.
The poor guy has a partial spiral fracture on his tibia. It is close to his growth plate so they are being careful with it and casting it for a month. He loves orange and calls his cast "my orange". We will take him in for an other x-ray in a couple weeks to make sure it is healing properly.
He has been a real trooper and is learning to get around pretty well now, he slides around on his butt (he is going to wear a hole in all his pants). He even can make it down the stairs. At first he would just sit in one place and when he was ready to move he would shout, "Mom... MOM!! I need you". If anything I will get a work out packing this kid around!

oh no! Poor "Baby" Tate. (He will probably remain a baby in my memory forever!) I hope he heals quickly.

By the way, I need your new address. I want to finally mail Bentli's birthday package. We miss you guys too!
