Changes this Week

Gerrit got his cast off this week! He was pretty excited about the day because he started off hanging out with mom at school for a bit. We then headed for lunch, a few errands and then to see Dr. Schiffern. The cast was quite smelly so the whole family was extra excited to get rid of that thing!
Gerrit was a bit hesitant to let the man use the 'saw' to cut the cast but eventually he gave in and stood still long enough to get the job done. Gerrit walked around as if the cast was still on which I thought was pretty funny. The Dr. said everything looked great and it healed well. It has been a few days since the cast came off and you'd never know he had broke his arm. He is using it to its full capacity as he told Adam tonight he did a pull up to reach something on top of a dresser! Guess he didn't loose too much muscle! We did not opt to keep the cast (thankfully) and will just have a few pictures to remind us instead.

We now have a few inches of snow yet that did not keep Emmit from riding his bike! These were taking the morning of the snow storm (it hit after lunch). We had a light dusting earlier in the week but Emmit did not mind. He would live outside if he could! Every day he gets out of the car and whines standing by the garage door waiting for me to open it. Usually I don't but Sat. was a 'warm' day so I thought he better get one more ride in before the snow! And just as the snow was starting to fly - Adam took off for a ride with a few guys! Guess Emmit has it in his blood!
