What a Weekend!

We had a great weekend. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit. The kids had fun getting attention from the grandparents. We did a lot of playing, hanging out and eating (hey, it was Thanksgiving:) ).


Then, Sunday night the excitement began. We went down to Casa Grande, AZ to check out how our house was coming along (stucco and texture are on). We stopped by the local park so the kids could get some energy out before we started the long trek home. I took A down a high, "crazy slide" (A's words). It is seriously a slide of death. You go up 3 ladders just to get to the slide. I put Austin on my lap and started down. We were banging up against the slide and each other. It was truly a "crazy slide." We'll A got hurt. He said his knee hurt and he wouldn't walk on his left leg. We had to carry him everywhere. Even Emma's teasings wouldn't get him to use his leg - something was definitely wrong! Well, we took him to the ER the next morning. Pose for a picture. :) We had to find the fun in the situation.



They took a picture of his bones and this is what we saw- a spiral fracture on the shin bone.



So, they splint it up (he'll get a cast on in a couple of days).


A is taking it all in stride. He likes the babying, but still insists on "Doing it myself!" Looks like a lot of movies and walks in the stroller are on the agenda.
