Well, I joined the hallowed club of broken bones over the weekend. I was playing basketball at a men's retreat and slipped on the court, landing on my hand and in the process breaking my wrist. I would say more, but typing is a bit of a struggle now! The docs say that hopefully the bone will heal on its own and be good in 8 weeks, but the bone (the scaphoid) doesn't always heal well so I potentially could need surgery. I'll know for sure in 4 weeks.
Oh, and my wife is due in less than 10 weeks! So we're hoping for the "quick" healing route.

That T stands for Trouble
I don't know whether it's just different personalities, or whether it is the difference between boys and girls, but we're certainly finding Titus to be much more "trouble" than Katelyn was. He's always getting into something, testing the limits, seeing how high he can climb up the bookcase, how far he can throw the toy, how loud he can yell, and on and on.
Thus, it seems many a time in the past few months the phrase "that T stands for trouble!" has been uttered around the household.
Ahh, but we love him anyway!

The Adventures of Goldilocks & the Scissors
Yesterday afternoon, I found a lock of hair in the hallway.
A curly, blonde lock of hair approximately 3-4 inches long.
Apparently, Katelyn was so disappointed that I didn't trim her hair Saturday when we cut Titus', that she decided to give it a turn herself. It's not nearly as bad as it could've been, but she cut off a good 3-4 inches in length from a small section in the back of her head. My first instinct was to burst out laughing, but then I wanted to cry...and then a little bit of frustration & anger kicked in. But, I kept my cool & combed out her hair explaining why this was a very bad idea (panicking at the amount of little hairs that seemed to fall from every stroke). It really isn't too bad, the right side is a little thinner in the back, but if you didn't know about it, you probably wouldn't even notice. This is something I definitely would expect from Titus in the future, but not my Katelyn! :)
Ah well, life goes on, and hair will grow. I finished my white chocolate raspberry mocha much too soon. I need a refill. And make it a double.
