The boys thought we needed to elaborate on their fish . . . . . .

Weekend at the Cabin

Friday, Jimmy and the kids went to his doctor appointment. He was able to shed his red cast and per the girls choice, he replaced it with a pink cast with white stripes! Sounds like he has two more weeks in a cast - then will graduate to a walking boot and physical therapy.

Friday night after work we headed to the cabin with Grandma and Grandpa. Jimmy and the kids got some fishing in. I took the kids down to the beach yesterday; dispite the cool weather, they had fun!

We packed up and headed home this morning and made it to Willard to the annual church Bazzare. Grandpa was with the kids and noticed the rummage sale was having a fill a bag for a dollar sale. Needless to say - he's still smiling as my kids each filled up a brown paper bag of treasurers.

Sunday night . . .

Along with all the fun Sunday night - we had a situation that was . . . not so fun.

Jimmy was untangling fishing line for Vanessa and decided to cut the line with his hunting knife. When doing that, he dropped the knife and it landed on his foot. After a trip to the emergency room, we learned that the knife cut the tendon that controls his big toe. They stitched up the gash in his foot on Sunday without reconnecting the damaged tendon. The earliest he could seet he specialist was on Tuesday. Tuesday he got to go to Marshfield two times, one to see the Specialist and teh second for an MRI. Surgery was scheduled for Thursday. His brother Humberto took him in to surgery on Thursday. He came home casted up to his knee and with a nerve block to control the pain. We get to remove that ourselves on Monday. He is unable to put any pressure on his foot now for two full weeks. His next doctor appointment is Tuesday . . . so hopefully all is well. Needless to say after day 2 he was completely sick of sitting around with his leg up. He's got a ways to go!

Happy B-Day Blake/Trisha's home!

Last weekend we had fun at Grandpa's. Trisha was home for the weekend and it was Cousin Blake's birthday on Sunday. The kids had fun fishing, swimming, and making a campfire at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Slip N Slide

Last week the kids decided to enjoy the heat playing on the slip N slide!! Good thing they did that last week - as the weather hasn't been as warm this week!
