Update on Parkie

She woke up this morning still in pain and refusing to put her weight on her right foot. Unfortunately, Bill also woke up with a great pain in his back. I decided to call our chiropractor (who, by the way, has an identical twin-chiropractor sister). She called in a prescription for some x-rays of Parker and made appointments for treatment and an hour-long massage for Bill. (Maybe my back's starting to hurt, too!?) So, Annie and I loaded Bill and Parker into the car, dropped Bill at the chiro's, and took Parkie to the x-ray place. She was a little scared but was very, very brave. They had an aquarium with all the "Nemo" fish in it, so the girls were in heaven. We finally got home at 10:30, Bill was asleep by 11:00, and the girls and I drifted off at 12:30--before having lunch. We all slept until 3:00! Bill had taken the day off in order to "organize" things and "catch up" on things. All any of us caught up on was sleep. Very nice, though. The chiropractor called us at 4:00 and told us Parker had no broken bones, and that I could tell her it was ok to walk on it if she wanted to. We had company over for dinner, and she finally walked on it after supper. She's doing great now. Thanks for all the prayers.

Oh, she also mooned us this evening. As we were playing outside, she and Annie had very wet diapers. Since we'll be potty training soon, I just stripped them down and left their dresses on. They've been in to Princess "bowing" lately, so Parker bowed to the neighbor's house. She also picked up her dress and stuck her little white tushie out at us. I haven't laughed like that in quite a while.
