Sam's.Red.Cast.

-
Well, Sam had to get a cast today. The ortho doctor was able to get him in this morning and by 11am, he had his red cast on (for IU! or Elmo) and was on his way. He was such a brave boy with a little crying during the x-ray again but did really well while they put the cast on. He even watched them do it. He doesn't seem bothered by it at all and hopefully will have it off in just three weeks. He can still run, climb, and nap... all good things. However, he sometimes forgets to slow down on the tile floor and well, you know he falls! He looks so cute it in and Hap and I are glad he is coping well:)

First few tentative steps on the cast.


Sweet feet, cast and all!!

Sam, We are so proud of you for being a big boy today. You look good in crimson(and cream). It doesn't look as if the cast will slow you down, so dad and mom keep your sneakers on. Have fun playing with your uncle Nathan. Love, Grandpa and grandma P.

Way to go Sam - don't let a little thing a cast slow you down. You are a very brave boy. We hope you are up and running (without the cast) soon.

Garrett did the same thing in Mexico when he was jumping on the bed and fell off!! He had a hairline fracture to his tibia and was casted for 4 weeks. By the end of week 1 he was running around like nothing was different!! Funny how they adapt to things. I will warn you the saw used to cut the cast off freaked him out!! Just a forewarning;)

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
