More September

I give you...drumroll...more pictures from September! Whoo hoo!

Zack took the kids to a Cardinals game with some friends.















Since Chelsea's birth, Cami has taken way less naps, since I have to lay down with her.  Some evenings I find her asleep on a couch, cute little tired thing.


Had to snap a few of the littlest pest before I woke her from a nap.








And after I woke her too...








September 18th - Saddest day ever.  Zack accidentally dislocated Cami's elbow when he pulled her up on the bed.  She screamed and screamed, but then fell asleep holding her arm.  When Zack tried to get his arm from under her, she woke up screaming and holding her arm (shoulder, actually) again.  We knew something was wrong.  As I was getting ready to take the whole family to the ER, Zack called our buddy Chris (whose boys have both dislocated their elbows) and it sounded like the same thing.  Chris gave Zack instructions over-the-phone on how to pop it back in place - and it worked!  The first time we tried it, tears were streaming down my face because Cami was screaming so much and I had to hold her down while Zack moved her little arm.  It didn't work...just before I was ready to take Cami in, Zack went in and tried again all by himself.  He told me he heard a pop and thought it worked that time.  Sure enough, after a few minutes, Cami started moving her elbow and stopped crying.  Here she is after the ordeal.


She got a bowl of ice cream for being so brave. :)


All smiles again...it really was instant relief!


Happy to be getting ice cream too.


Some cute Chels pics.








So awesome.


The roundest cheeks that I eat continually.











She was ready for bed, but I couldn't stop smooching her.





FHE - paper airplane contest.


And pumpkin marshmallow s'mores after for a treat.


Cami with her new sneakers.  Light-up Sketchers from the used kids store.


She is in. love.





With the wonderful weather, we've been spending more time outside.  We love to play chalk with Isaac in the evenings.


I love that her hopscotching is really just jumping from one foot...


...to the other.  The cutest puffy hair!





Just enamored with the cute little babe after bathtime.


Playing outside one day!








We brought a bucket of cars and bad guys to the park and it was a major hit.

 
Are you kidding me??  Look at that sass!!
Loves to spin...and loves wearing her (now very scuffed) church shoes outside to play in.


Love this one.


Classic Cami face.





 


I've started jogging again - here's the little gal all bundled in the jogging stroller.


A few more self-timer gems.







All right...October's next.  Hold onto yer hats!

Loved the update. Love to pictures of you all. Sad to hear about Cami's arm - I remember Zack telling me about that over the phone. Looks like you all are having lots of fun! :)

Great great great great great pictures, sis. Loved seeing the latest! What an ordeal about Cami's dislocated shoulder. YIKES. So glad you guys didn't have to go to the ER--what a blessing that Zack popped it back! PHEW!

And the latest pictures of Chelsea capture her so well! I feel like I'm getting to know her better with the pictures you post. What a precious little gal!!

Miss you punks! xoxo
