Bummer

My oldest loves to ride his longboard (skateboard) with his buddies.  Just last week two of his uncles kindly made a video of him riding.  Today while he was riding he somehow broke AND dislocated one of his fingers.

Ouch.

An otherwise fun day (and spring break) ended with this:


We’ll be seeing a hand specialist to be certain it’s healing properly, and hopefully no surgery will be necessary.    Meanwhile, school will be tough next week with his right hand out of commission.  Especially band.  You can’t play the clarinet with one hand.  Poor guy.  I feel so bad for him.


He’s being a good sport about it.  Nights like this make you thankful for so many things that you don’t usually remember to be thankful for.  Life is interesting!

Hope your fingers are all intact!:)

Baby Chicks

The sun has come at last!  We took the chicks outside this morning to play with them.

Easter chicks

My brother and his sons are visiting from Colorado, and it was fun to include them in the adventure.


We started with a clump of children around a clump of chicks…




but soon spread out a little and had a great time.


We also had the cutest spectator ever.


Enjoy the pictures!


















This kid NEVER smiles in pictures.  I’m so happy to have caught him smiling without reserve.






It has been cute to watch the children enjoy having these little pets in the house for several days.   This afternoon the little chicks will be starting a new adventure living with a different set of cousins.

Thanks so much, Grandma and Grandpa, for providing this wonderful memory!
