On bo-bo's and elmo's and hot-diggity-dogs

Robbie hurt his finger this past week at church playing dodgeball.  He headed to Convenient Care, where they put it in a splint and told him that it was probably just a ruptured tendon.  However, they sent him to a "hand specialist" (who turns out to be a plastic surgeon) who told him that it's actually completely torn off of the bone.  So, tomorrow morning he's got to be at the hospital at 6am to have surgery.  I'm a little nervous about this because I've got to work and so I can't be there.  I know that all will go well, but I would much rather be there.  One of my greatest fears in returning to work was that I wouldn't be able to be there for my family when they needed me, so it's been hard for me that such a situation has already occurred in the first two weeks of me working.  

As a result of this injury, Hannah has learned a new word - "bo-bo."  She says it all the time now, pointing to Rob's finger and then will give it a kiss.  That was actually the first thing out of her mouth this morning.  She's absorbing words like crazy these days.

She is also loving Elmo right now.  She can actually say "Elmo" but sometimes it comes out like "Melmo."  But she definitely knows who he is.  She has a little doll that she carries around and loves on and will tell you "elmo, elmo, elmo" and on and on.  She even spotted him on her toothbrush the other day (I hadn't even noticed that she had an elmo toothbrush...)

Hannah is also loving the theme song to the Disney clubhouse.  She dances all around every time she hears it.  We actually downloaded the song the other night on i-tunes because she loves it so much.  The words say, "hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog!"  It's a pretty catchy tune, and I really can't get it out of my head right now. Hannah doesn't really understand what the words are saying, but she has caught on to the fact that the word "dog" is in the song.  A lot of times she'll start barking as she dances around the room!

I know it's been forever...

since I've updated this blog!!  I know!!  

We've been incredibly busy lately, just trying to keep up with the day-t0-day tasks.  And we have officially lost our cords that connect the camera to the computer.  So, instead of writing tons of stories on here, I've been waiting to get that cord so that you can see pictures too.  Because we all know that no one really wants to know what's going on with Robbie & Jill, everyone just wants to see pictures of Hannah.  So, hopefully, in the next few days I can do something about that for ya!
