Another injury

As I reached for the office door to go to my meeting, Dimple was turning the other side of the handle. There she stood with both girls. Knowing that they do not come for friendly visits during the day, I immediately scanned them over to see what was wrong. Sure enough Lucy was holding a tissue to her chin. Another injury! For a girl who is allergic to sports she sure does get some pretty good injuries. I tried to steri-strip it, not once but twice, before really coming to terms with the fact that we needed more than our little health office had to offer. Reluctantly, we headed to the hospital where Dr Madu glued Lucy's chin back together. Once again, Lucy was a trooper.





Notice the Mechanical and Electrical Manual in the background?  This is Ted's leisure reading material these days. Talk about boat-focused!

Numero Uno

March 2. Hard to believe Scout is one. Unfortunately, Amie spent the whole weekend sick, and now as I write this, Monday night, Scout is sick as well. We had beautiful weather this weekend and managed to spend a lot of time outside. A year ago we were just getting to know our new little Scouty, and now we have a mobile litte toddler. Lucy was as excited as anyone, and she was a supportive big sister on her little sister's birthday. 
Two weeks and counting till Duke and Maria arrive!

Happy First Birthday Scout!

Here is Lucy on her first birthday, celebrated in Maine.
