And Clark made it finally to the Olan Mills website at Olanmills.com.
Michael's birthday was the 1oth, and since Grandma and Pawpaw were in town, we threw a dual party for Joel too since he'll be one in a few weeks.
He ate every bite of his cupcake that wasn't smeared to his face and highchair.
The boys had fun playing with each others stuffSince Daddy and son were going to share a cake, I spent some time planning the perfect cake for the situation. I call Joel our little monkey because he crawls on everything, and Michael loves chocolate. So hence we had a monkey chocolate cake with chocolate chips in the batter, covered with homemade fudge poured on while warm and hardened, and then it was topped with chocolate butter cream (a crazy plan, but the idea came to me late one night)
This cake wasn't monkeying around...it was GOOD!!!
I (Jenna) have been in a lot of debilitating hand/arm pain, and we discovered that I had two or three pinched nerves in my wrist that had caused severe nerve damage in my right hand. So I needed surgery quick to release my nerves and stop the death. That took place yesterday on Michael's birthday. Tangent: I also received the worst haircut ever on the day I discovered I needed surgery (I went in for a pick me up.) Good news is I got my money back, a year's worth of hair cuts (by the manager of course) and a year of free products. Anyway back to the surgery, my right hand will take 10 days or so to use, and six weeks of recovery. That's going to hard with two kids, but I know time will fly by. I hope the nerve damage will slowly get better, and I can get back to making cookies and chopping firewood. :-)
Lastly, Pumpkin, our stray kitty, has been growing and surviving the torture of two little boys. Hope this all makes since; it's 3:00 am, and I couldn't sleep with my arm hurting.
