A Family first.....by the youngest!

In January we had our first real experience with a broken bone in the Morgan home! (Technically Ben had the first broken bone, but it was the tip of his finger and did not require a cast.)

We actually have no idea how he hurt his right arm. He is such a climber and so active, we can't even pinpoint the exact time he broke his arm. He was still climbing and playing with a broken (radial bone) arm, we just noticed that he was eating with his left hand and fussing when we dressed him or tried to put his arm through the car seat buckle.

 

Isaac was not slowed down a bit! Thankfully, he has plenty of older siblings that were willing to help him eat, since left handed eating was a struggle.

 

Isaac was such a trooper throughout the whole process. His biggest complaint was not getting to play in the bathtub!

 

 

Thankfully, since he is so young he was only in a cast for just over two weeks! Amazing, how quick he heeled. There is nothing that slows him down now! The look on his face when he first realized he could straighten his arm was priceless!

Happy 9th Birthday Ben!!

February 10th was our Ben's 9th birthday!!

 

 Here is a year in review of pictures for Ben! He has had a full year. He has developed a love for all things military. He also loves anything to do with building, tinkering, or putting things together. He is the engineer of the family for sure! As always, Ben loves running and anything that is loud and crazy. He has continued to perfect his push-ups, and surprised our church talent show audience with 82 perfect push-ups in sixty seconds! Ben also has a very creative, artistic side. He is always making me laugh with the scientific drawings he produces in his school notebooks. Ben has enjoyed 4H, a homeschool PE and art class, and Royal Ambassadors (RA's) at church this year as well.

With his love of all things military, a tank seemed like an appropriate birthday cake. He loved it!! It even had sparkler candles!

Ben opened an empty bag for this birthday with a look of confusion. We explained that his birthday present will be an entire week of Lego Robotics Camp this summer. He can't wait for June to arrive.

Thank you Lord for another birthday for our son Ben. Thank you for this energetic, busy, smart, little boy that keeps us on our toes!
