Just as things were starting to calm down..........

Well, we are still waiting on our phones and more importantly VISA's. We have done our part and now we wait. We just need to pack now. Last night Rick surprised me with a really nice "last date before adoption" dinner in Fayetteville. It was so nice to just visit on the 45 minute drive and have some one on one time together. We got seated and ordered a salad and just as it was being brought to the table our phone rang. Our babysitter called and said Luke was on top of the stairs and had fallen. He cried for several minutes but seemed to calm down but not using his arm. We told her to call us back in a few minutes to see if there was any change. We inhaled our meal and got the phone call that it starting to swell. From experience, we knew it was probably broken. Our babysitters mom met us at the hospital so that our babysitter could stay with the girls. Sure enough....Luke broke his arm. Our romantic evening was spent in the hospital! Oh the lives of mommy's and daddy's! Life is always busy at the Nelson house and will soon be even busier with number 4! I guess Jake will get to meet his new big brother with a colorful cast. Have a great day. Natalie

Poor Luke! It's more painful for you than for him probably, but still, it stinks! I hope he is feeling OK.

Luke was so good! I hope it heals soon because I know it will be hard with him not being able to use his arm and do as much plus Jake coming soon.
