Never a Dull Moment

So this is Morgan on Monday. Surprise!! She had been complaining that her ankle was bothering her during gymnastics. After trying to ice it, it didn't seem to improve so I made an appointment for an orthopedic to take a look. I guess the official diagnosis is posterior tiblias tendonitis, translation it's a soft tissue injury and the only way for it to heal is complete rest. And the only way for it to completely rest it is to cast it. Well, you've never seen brighter eyes when he told her to pick a swatch from the colors offered for casts. And then to get crutches as well-I'm sure not too many patients walk out without a smile. She goes back in 2 weeks for a recast (where she can pick another color) and it should come off a week after that. She is still going to gymnastics, but obviously not doing a whole lot, but going 6 hours a week as opposed to 12. I think the novelty is wearing off with the heat and then realizing that she'd be able to go to Camp Loma Mar this weekend, but wouldn't be able to do most of the stuff. The good news is once it heals, it will be fine, not likely to recur again.




And here's a some activity going on in the "hood". To give you some perspective, the car in the foreground is right in front of our house. This little brush fire started right after school (thinking some "bad" kids were down there) and burned all the way up to the yellow house's fence. I guess the good news is all the shrubbery is gone. But the hills around us are almost completely brown (earlier than usual) and they are talking about rationing water this summer so it is going a bad fire season.



















Here's a little peek at Jack sleeping, guess he found a new sleep position. I'll post again and share some of the new stuff he's been up to, but as you can tell, we've been just a wee bit busy!!!
