It's not as bad as it looks. Chris and Malachi were playing around on the bed like they always do. Chris throwing Malachi up a little and Malachi leading on his back on the bed, a game Malachi loves to play. Well the last time Malachi came down he landed on his arm wrong and broke the little bone in his elbow. It didn't swell up right away so we didn't think it was broken, but after an hour and medicine, Malachi was still crying and wouldn't move his arm. So we called the Doc and they saw him right away. They took x-rays, but his Doctor couldn't see anything that stuck out, so she thought he had what's called "nurse kate's elbow" where the elbow is pulled out of socket. She tried the maneuver to fix it, but only made Malachi hurt more and not want her to touch him again. So she sent the x-rays to a radiologist and he said there was a small fracture in the bone that hides the point of your elbow when you bend and straighten your arm. A common fracture for all ages. Drove across town and waited an hour and a half in the waiting room to see the ped ortho. Then it took the nurse an hour to cast Malachi because he was putting up a fight and did not want another person to touch him or his arm. I definitely got a workout holding him so the lady could cast him. She said it happens all the time and the kids usually bite her, Malachi didn't so he wasn't that bad. He only has to wear it for 3 weeks too. There is little swelling so he is on Ibuprofen to bring it down and help with any pain.
But he is happy as ever. Since he is right handed he is having difficulty eating. He can get a fork in his mouth with food still on it, but dumps the spoon before it gets to his mouth. He is also a little off balance only having one arm to catch himself, he is falling a lot more than usual.
He is also having hard time climbing on things cause he doesn't have both arms to pull himself up, so he pulls his step stool to where ever he wants up. I'm trying to let him figure everything out on his own so he doesn't get use to me doing everything for him, but it's so hard to watch him struggle.
After everything though he is still his normal self, running, playing, chasing the cat, and a happy happy baby. Almost like nothing happened, until he tries to do something he needs both hands for. It's only been a day in a half, I'm sure he'll get the hang of it soon. Otherwise we are all doing well, Happy Resurrection/Easter weekend everyone!
The holidays were great. We spent Thanksgiving in Denver at my moms and Christmas in Wisconsin with Chris's mom. We definitely had a white Christmas, it snowed the whole time we were there. It was so great to see all of Chris's family again though. Cassie took a break from the nice Florida weather and spent Christmas in Wisconsin as well. Needless to say we are invited to Florida for Christmas next year so she doesn't freeze again. =)
As usual it took about a day or so for Malachi to warm up to people, but it only took a couple hours before he was sitting in Aunt Cassie's lap. He loved her! We all got more than we needed for Christmas. Chris received enough gift cards to get Rock band and we love it, I got a Kitchen Aid Mixer and it is wonderful, Malachi got a lot of clothes and toys. His favorite toy is a blender, Kendi received one at the baby shower and Malachi fell in love with it. Mom and Dad got him a 4-wheeler that he loves to ride around in. 
These last few months have been amazing and we have definitely seen God providing for us over and over again. For the first time since Chris has worked for El Paso County they paid out up to 30 hours of comp time and a pay for performance bonus. We just had work done on our Aztec and it added up to just under $10 of the money we had just received, so we able to pay for everything and not worry about it. Also for this year's income tax return we planned on trying to pay off a student loan. We just filed and are getting enough back to not only allow us to pay off a student loan, but also our credit card that we weren't planning on being able to pay off for another year. All of this is on Chris's income alone too. One of our biggest worries in anticipation of Malachi being born was could we survive off of Chris's income alone and for how long. Well, it's a year and a half later and we are almost debt free, have gone on numerous vacations, and haven't had to worry at all about money. God has continued to provide for us over and over again even in our doubts. "The Lord's lovingkindness indeed never cease, His compassion's never fail. They are new every morning: great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22, 23
