Another malfunctioning elbow

Well it is official, Colin has dislocated one of his elbows! Today while at Nana and Papa's house Colin was playing on a Big Wheel riding toy. When he fell off he was still holding onto the handle and we believe that is how he dislocated it. When I got there after work this afternoon he was keeping his left arm by his side and refused to use it to do anything. I called Neil and he told me how to set it back and luckily it worked perfectly on the first try! (Avery's never went back into place easily, so we always ended up in the emergency room) I was shocked that Colin's elbow dislocated because he is always hanging and climbing and it has never happened. So word to the wise be careful around these little McKenzie kid's arms.

Life through the eyes of little ones

Just wanted to add a few cute things that the kids have done recently:

* Avery was watching a cartoon on PBS kids called "Martha Speaks" based on the books. I asked her if Dolly (our dog) would talk if we gave her alphabet soup. She replied "no because it is pretend, and alphabet soup is out of season".

* Colin has figured out how to hold his monster trucks in one place while turning the back axle to make it do a "burn out". (He likes monster trucks and drag racing).

Life is never dull in our house! The kids are changing so quickly it is hard to keep up. Avery is starting to read and is able to write most of her letters. She is constantly asking Neil and I to spell words for her to write a story or make a card for someone. Colin is talking more each day and becoming quite the entertainer. He will sing a song (most of the time you can not understand the words), then take a bow while saying "thank you, thank you". We are amazed everyday with all the wonder around us, life is GREAT!
