Sunday, GK gave a name and beautiful blessing to Delia and Josie.
Yesterday was Vanny's second birthday.
Celebrations for both have been affected somewhat by our recent hospital stay.
Last week while camping at Refugio (north of Santa Barbara, CA), Vanny tripped over his own cute toes while showing off his gatorade bottle to one of his new friends.
Since he reacted a little differently than the other 75 times he tripped that day, we rushed him into the Goleta ER and had his leg X-rayed. He had spiral fractured his left femur and had to be transferred by ambulance to the nearest Hospital with a Pediatric unit.
After getting a little rest, the doctor put a Spica Cast on Vanny and put an end to our summer swimming, running, and ... tripping. He'll see the summer out in his wheelchair and new bike trailer. GK and I are still figuring out the way to juggle two infants and a newly entrapped toddler. It would be impossible without all the help from grandparents and friends. We've been very blessed.
Pictures to come.

Yay! This the best news ever! You guys are unbelievably lucky. I wish I had a cast. You tell Van he's a lucky boy. And point out how many other people don't have casts. And then teach him the word, "Suckers!"
Oh, I also like your guys because your blog is not a constant photo reel of your brood. Not that I wouldn't like to see a picture or two.
I hope you are awesome. Despite the leg.
Did you guys go camping with infant babies? Wow, impressed and if you did you must truly love camping. So sorry for the little man. Hope he heals quick. Hope you had a good week at the beach.
So sad. I hate Refugio. Too close to the highway, big shore break wave bad for my babies.It was a record 100 degrees when we went. I lasted one night and said take me back to that awesome beach at Faria! Poor little Van. You guys will get awesome arms carrying all that sweet cargo.
Happy Day - a Post! Looking forward to pics. Van is one tough little dude! Must have inherited that from his parents:D
Van was a total champ! His sweet nature still shone through despite the spica. It was great seeing you all and to finally meet the girls. hugs.
See what other parents say about living with a spica cast and relief that the CastCooler provides.

We heard what happened. I cant beleive it! We were in S.D. with Karen & cousins and they passed along the news. I am so sorry. I dont know HOW you guys manage.

Hope all will mend well and quickly. Can't wait to see updated pics of the babies. :)
