Friends and Owl's Arm

The girls wore their matching fleeces from Kristina a few weeks ago so I asked them to sit nice for a pic to send to Auntie Kristina...

That's a little better!

After just over 5 weeks since breaking his arm, Gibs got his pins out and his fifth and final cast put on!  And as I put in the post title, "Owl" is Greta's name for Gibs--we have no idea why. But she's still calling him that.  Sometimes she says "Gibs" or "Gibson", but often, it's "Owl".  And Elvis is "Ay-ah" (eye-yah).

His final cast was on for one week.

Layla is just starting to learn to read some English site words and loves trying to read.  Every weekend she brings home two Mandarin books to read and every Monday brings home an English book from the school library.

The kids were so excited about meeting baby Graham.  They all left wanting a new baby brother. 

Gibs now has been going to physical therapy since getting his cast off.  He's getting better with some of the motion in his arm, but still can't reach his shoulder.  Hopefully soon he can so that we can be done with PT. 

Only 5 days later, they got to hold another newbie--Knox Henry.

We enjoyed a night out without kids wine tasting with friends...
