Casts

Chippy is pretty happy with his cast collection!  As of Monday the green one is off and he's good to go!  He doesn't have great range of motion yet - but hopefully that will improve as he uses it.  

He thought he might like more casts for Christmas ... but that might be hard for Santa to arrange!

Surgery :(

Chippy had his second surgery of the autumn - tubes in his ears and adenoids out.  The whole process took 3 hours round trip from the house.  He was okay up until they were going to take him in and then he was a bit scared.  Waking up was a little tougher this time ... but the hospital kicked him out as soon as he was awake!  By the time we got back to the house he thought he might be up for a giant frozen yogourt! By dinner time time he was pretty much back to normal!

While in the surgery, his front tooth had to get pulled because it was so loose.  The tooth fairy came DURING the surgery!!

Wee M the Ballet-er!

Wee M had a peek day at ballet a few weeks ago - she is still in love with Ballet and is looking forward to going to the Nutcracker!

Birthday #1

While at home, we were also able to see Aunt Elaine!  She brought some great books for the kids - of which the 12 Days of Canadian Christmas, Isaac already has memorized! '... 5 Stanley Cups!'

Christmas #1

With American Thanksgiving so late in the year, we are able to take the time off to head home for Christmas #1!!  Bowers Christmas was held at the Wallaceburg Community Centre, with dinner and presents at Fred & Ruth's house.  As always, Ruthie outdid herself and spoiled the kids rotten!  Highlight for Isaac was Tracey's apple crisp (and the toy shooter from Ruthie!) ... highlight for Maisie was being a pom pom girl with Lucie and Stella!

Harry and his Nimbus 2000

Can you believe this was done all with his LEFT hand??  👦👶👶👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪🙇👔❤️💚💚❤️💌🎽✋✋✋👈

A Warm Fall Day

What a day we had today!  Started out with a pancake breakfast at the high school - complete with Isaac winning the Cake walk ... then we spent the day outside raking leaves and taking them to the dump! And no dump trip is complete without going to the dump store for a Rapunzel castle!! :)

Let me tell you, this (star spangled) cast is not slowing Chippy down!  He won the top prize in the slap shot competition at the breakfast this morning and he was hitting baseballs out of the park with his left hand this afternoon!
