Trevor's First Apple Cake

NaNa and Big Guy brought some apples over from one of the orchards in Eau Claire the last time that they were here. So Mommy and Trevor decided that it would be a good time to make Grandma Great's Apple Cake! So we put Joshua down for a nap and Trevor and Mommy went to work (with Daddy's help of course!). Here is a picture of Trevor and Mommy making the crust. We had so much fun making the cake! We will have to make this a yearly tradtion in the Stewart house now!!

Trevor and the Dirt Pudding

It was Mrs. Going's (his teacher) birthday and the room moms decided that the project for the party would be to make dirt Pudding! Needless to say that the dirt pudding came home with us and this is what happens when you let a 3 year old eat it!

Nicole and Joshua Update Part 3

So on Monday morning Mommy noticed that Joshua's little piggies were now inside his cast, I called and they wanted us to rush down to Gillette's again and have it recasted! So needless to say the accident happened one week ago today and he is on his 3rd cast! The guys down at Gillette's call him "Little Houdini". At least we had the same two guys put his cast on this time. It made Joshua a little more comfortable.
Nicole's stitches came out on Monday also. Her chin looks like it will heal just fine, with barely a scar there.

We just want to thank everyone for all of your help and prayers and food that you have sent our way! We are a very blessed family to have such wonderful friends around us.

Joshua's First Tooth

AS you can see (barely) Joshua has his first tooth... Well in all honesty he has 6 already. Four on the top and two on the bottom. This was the only good picture that I could get of them!

Joshua and his cast

So this is the new cast that Gillette Children's Specialty Hospital put on Joshua yesterday. He is getting along very well with it on. He was crawling Tuesday night! As you can see he is still getting into Daddy's magazines!!

Nicole and Joshua Update Part 2

Ok, so it does appear that Joshua did in fact break his left leg. We took him into Gillette Children's Hospital this afternoon in St. Paul and they confirmed that it was actually broken and not just a fracture. The little guy seems to be in exteremly good spirits considering he now has a cast on his leg from just above his knee all the way under his foot. The part that is really "painful" is that we can't get the cast wet....have you ever tried to give an 8 month old a sponge bath without getting his legs wet? Kind of a joke but what can you do.

Nicole and Joshua Update

On Tuesday 10/2 Nicole and Joshua fell down some steps outside of Trevor's school. They were taken to the hospital and ended up with Nicole needing 13 stitches and Joshua having a fractured leg (both of them have a number scratches and will be sore for the next week or so). Considering they were falling down a set of concrete steps it could have been much worse; Nicole being the great mother she is took the brunt of the impact for Joshua. Nicole and Joshua are doing fine, thanks to some really good LEGAL drugs.
