are a cast free home...for now. Cael isn't even close to walking on his foot, which we knew to expect after being in a cast for three weeks. But several times he has tried to walk on it and he falls down screaming. A very painful cry, which breaks my heart. They said there still could be a fracture that is not completely healed. Hopefully a few days of adjustment is all it will take!

We went out to dinner with Steve and his family for his birthday. I may or many not have gotten Cael dressed and forgot to put a diaper on him. Cael, who is not potty trained, may or may not have wet his pants in the middle of the restaurant. I may or may not have not taken any diapers because we were only going to be gone for two hours. It may or may not have been the stupidst thing I have ever done.

Here is a picture of his exactly where it happened. He is being silly and holding Steve's birthday card in front of his face and I am not sure why his legs looks so dirty...I promise my child is clean. Thank goodness my sister in law had a diaper Cael could wear, it not the night would not have turned out to be very funny.

Happy Birthday Babe...don't love this ride we are on together!!

We went to Lincoln tonight to the Art Festival and Balloon Glow. We meet up the Clair's and had dinner at First Wok. It was very good and I even ate not one, but two crab rangoon. I am very proud of myself for doing it!

After dinner Steve, Cael and I went chasing the balloons. We went a few years ago and there were ton of balloons flying so we were a bit disappointed to see only six balloons in the air. We found a back road and stood on the side of the road as the balloons flew over. They would set off the their fire and wave at Cael every time. He loved it! It was really fun to see it through his eyes. We followed the last one and was able to be at their landing site (in the middle of a road). We got out and watched them pack up their balloon, then we all headed back to the glow. It was a great night and something we are planning on doing again next year...so all you Springfield friends need to plan on going with us!

Cael and I made peanut butter cookies tonight. He is such a good helper and loves to be in the kitchen with me. His main job tonight was "forking" the cookies after I put them on the cookie sheet. He did a fabulous job and I am sure the delicious taste had everything to do with his "forking" job.

This never happens around our house. We have been so busy lately and Cael has kept right up with us! He and Mr.Bear finally had enough.

I seriously love this kid!

August 23rd

Someone kindly reminded me that the last time I posted was July 4th. So I figured I would round the summer out with a bang. Steve started school today so our summer is officially over, that is a bummer. I am actually kind of excited to get back into a routine and bring some structure back to the Miller household, but we really will miss Daddy being home all day!

Tonight we hung out with some friends at a Hunger Game party. If you haven't read the books...do it now! They are fabulous and I can't wait to get my hands on the third and final book when it comes out tomorrow. Emily, our professional party planner, threw a great party. Costumes were encouraged but I was a party pooper and didn't dress up.

Here is Emily in her Glimmer outfit. If you don't know who Glimmer, is go to your public library pronto!

Thanks Emily or a great party!!
