Here are just some pictures I took of the kids.

Jonah

Tyrel

I think he is making a cute face, but seeing his stitches makes me a little sad

My parents brought those little chef hats with them when they came last week, and the kids play with them everyday.

Also, just to let whoever know, Jonah is doing very well with the growth hormone shots. We give them to him 6 nights a week. The very first night he flipped out and he moved his leg right as I injected the medicine, AND the needle bent in his leg...so he was bleeding and the very expensive medicine went all over his leg. I felt completely overwhelmed and was pretty nervous to give him a shot the next night, but he has done AWESOME since then with just a couple 'crying' nights here and there. Usually he just lays down and lets me do it and then says "I didn't cry Mom." What a trooper!

Stitches

We made it 56 months with kids before we had to head over to the ER to get stitches. Poor little Tyrel climbed on the computer desk chair and slipped off and hit his lip on the desk. I caught him on the way down and noticed lots of blood and a pretty deep cut. Matt and I thought he had bit all the way through his lip; but at the ER, the doctor looked at it and found it was a deep cut but just bruised in the inside. He had to get 2 stitches in for 5 days. It was pretty hard to hold him down while they stitched him and I felt like a horrible mom. He is doing fine now. He doesn't seem like he is in pain and it is already looking a lot better.
