Gaby is broken
My Mom called me right after she took her to school Thursday morning and said she was going right then to get her some crutches. Keep in mind that I am almost 500 miles away and feeling kind of helpless throughout all of this. During this conversation with my Mom, I decided it was probably best for Gaby to go to the ER. Because I haven't changed her doctor from OC to where she is, she is "out of network", and our co-pay for urgent care or the ER is $75 but I figured it was worth it for my own peace of mind. After school my parents took Gaby to the ER and I got a phone call right after I left work and my Mom told me that she had broken her foot in 3 places! The ER doc wanted her to see an orthopedic surgeon this week, so being "out of network" as far as our insurance goes, I had another battle with our insurance company on Friday to get her visit authorized. I am so grateful that we have health insurance, but sometimes they can be so difficult. So she went to the ortho surg. this morning who used to go, lucky for us, to the same church as my parents. He put a full cast on (the ER only put a partial cast on because of the swelling) and she goes back in 2 1/2 weeks to have it re-x-rayed (is that even a word?). She called me as they were leaving the Dr's office and let me know she was a little disappointed because there were no cast colors for her to choose from, she had to go with boring white. When I called back to get all the details from my Mom, she was at Target getting colored Sharpies for Gaby to use on her boring white cast. I'm glad that Gaby was with my parents when this happened because it would have been really hard on both of us if she had been here. I wouldn't have been able to give her the extra care she needs. So a BIG thank you to my wonderful parents for doting on my little girl in her time of need. Hopefully she won't drive them crazy in the process!
Here is her poor swollen foot after the Dr removed the partial cast and before he put on the full cast.
And she's still smiling! Gotta love her!
The boring white cast before all her friends get a hold of it.

Idaho
Gaby with Carson and Dalton. I can't believe how huge they are!
One of the first things she told me about was jumping into the pool from the tramp. Great shot Mags...Gaby thought this pic was so cool!
Playing chicken...Gaby's on Dalton's shoulders and Carson's on Jason's shoulders.

Gaby's new bike
Lizzy & Lucy's blessing
This is my little brother, Paul, holding Lucy, and his adorable wife, Suzy, holding Lizzy.
My brother, Mark, me, Paul with Lucy, Suzy with Lizzy, my Mom and Dad. These two brothers and I were known as the "3 little ones" until just a few years ago. :)
Gab took the next two pics and I thought they were too cute not to post. She sure does love her uncles and she is so lucky to have 8 that are so wonderful to her.
And here is the last pic, Gaby thought it was so cool that she was up so high! I was amazed at Uncle Mark's thigh strength to climb up on this table with an extra 60 pounds on his shoulders!Wednesday, July 16, 2008
My new accessory
My highly over-paid (in my opinion) fashion consultant assisted me in choosing these bad boys that I just picked up last night...
I think they make me look much more smarterer...what do you think? And yes, I am in my car but I was stopped at a stop light, and no, that's not a pile of towels and blankets you see in the back. :)

Our trip to Florida
We also went swimming and Auntie Debbie is such a good sport that she did handstands in the pool with Gaby!Gaby is still in Florida with my Mom and Dad. They are in Daytona Beach at my sister and brother-in-laws (Mary and Ron) condo on the beach. I think they are leaving Sunday to start the long drive back out here to CA. I wish I could have joined them on their road trip but I had to get back to work.
