National Talk Like A Pirate Day....Arrrgh!

So for those of you who missed the holiday, Thursday was national "Talk Like a Pirate Day"...Yeah.....seriously. Now that's a holiday! What a coincidence that I was just taking pics of my little Z in her pirate costume. She's all set for Halloween and her 3rd birthday celebration pirate party coming up soon! Shiver me timbers! :)
(haha can you tell I too love pirates? Maybe it's tied to my fascination with Johnny Depp....yes....I think it is) :)

Broken Z... :(

So most of my blog readers are also my FB friends, so you've probably already heard the news that Z broke her arm at preschool last week. Ya know.....at first I was concerned and upset, but the more I thought about it I realized that accidents happen, and whadyagonnado? Zoey LOVES her preschool more than words can say, and we couldn't be happier with the care she is getting there. And they get to do so many amazing activities like cooking, dance, Spanish, and music classes! We don't feel that this accident has anything do do with the quality of the care and love she gets from her teachers and peers. Ya know....kids are kids....adventurous, curious, independent, free-spirited, daring (at least mine is!), and accidents will happen every now-and-then no matter how much we keep our eye on little ones. Luckily Z's break is fairly common and "routine" from an orthopedic standpoint. She has what they call a "green-stick fracture", meaning her bone bent and fractured but didn't crack completely. And given how young she is and how fast kids heal, she should be out of her cast in the next 3-5 weeks without any lasting issues. She's such a trooper, and believe it or not I think she's starting to like her purple cast!

This accident did remind me though how fragile little Z is, and how much we have to be careful (not just with our kids, but in general!) Even though she's a "big girl" now, she is still a baby in many ways (at least my baby!) And it's a good reminder to be careful, cautious when necessary, and to think ahead as parents. We're not invincible no matter how much we might feel that way at times.

Way to go Z...you're such a trooper!

Silly Zoey antics as of late.....

HAHA!

Driving to Jonah's House!

David was just a tad hungry last night...haha!

We did our own thing for dinner last night, and when he first sat down I looked over and thought WOW, now that's a plate of food! HAHA guess he was hungry. :)

Touring our new Career Center

Hard hats and all. :)

It's still very much a construction zone, but it's coming together nicely! And I got to see my future office which has sooo much light and a view of SF and the Bay Bridge! I can't wait to be there! :)

Marianna's 4th Birthday!

Last weekend little Miss Mariana turned 4! Always a pleasure hanging out and celebrating with some of our closest friends.
