Signal Mountain Sunshine


we got to make one last quick trip before
school started....we went to Chattanooga
to get a little Signal Mountain Sunshine!
Had FUN with the Peppers Fam!

Faith and Lily!
Lily's room was a hit...she had
a doll house, a CD player with
a Kidzbop and Taylor Swift CD...
with a microphone and disco ball...
it was the place to be!

Milla and Faith got to go
to the the MOVIES
with Mimi and Papa Ray

we had so much fun at Scottsdale farms
with out friends the week before that we
decided to go back! Cole was climbing up and
down the ladder to a platform of the
playground to be able to then slide down
the slide. Milla and Faith were up
on the platform too--so, I walked over to get
my phone to snap a quick picture.  As soon
as my back was turned I heard something
fall and the girls shout "COLE!!"
He had dropped a beanbag and as
his eyes followed it down, so did his
body....Milla said he flipped in the
air before landing!! He was
SO TOUGH....he cried and recovered--but,
you could tell something wasn't right.
In the above picture he sat by all the blocks
but couldn't even play...he just kept saying
"hurts"

to the CHOA urgent care we went....

Broken Collarbone it was!
They said that collarbones are amazing
and as long as the pieces are "in the same
room" they will find their way back
together and heal!

Strong little buddy!
He got his brace to wear for
3 weeks!  He did not
complain at all!
