I.AM.A.BIG.DORK.

Alright, I was planning on doing a cute little post on our Halloween today. Instead, I get to post about what a big nerd I am. My niece Annie was baptised yesterday and we went to Jen & Nate's house afterwards for dinner. As we were leaving around 7:00 pm I stepped off the curb and my foot twisted in my shoe. I fell down and felt a SNAP. I sat there for a second a little stunned about what just happened, cried a little, and then got up an hobbled to the car. I could feel the pain coming on in my foot, but was trying to be tough. When we got home, I tried walking around on it, but it got to the point that I couldn't even step on it. I looked down and there was a great big lump on the side of my foot. Long story short, after a quick trip to the Instacare, I found out that I broke a bone in my left foot. Not only broke it, but crushed it! AWESOME! I can't bear any weight on it. I have a temporary cast, and will probably have to have surgery on it. I can deal with the pain, but the worst part is that I can't carry Cole around. What am I gonna do???? I'm sure we'll work something out.



Here are some cute Halloween pictures anyway . . .

Trick or Treating!


Alex carved his own pumpkin this year (far left), Rachel designed hers, and Cole doesn't even know what a pumpkin is!

Oh Nanc I am so sorry! That sucks so bad! I just called you and you were sleeping, I talked to your mom and she said that the best part about this whole thing is that you get to take Lortab! Your mom is so funny! Good luck with your surgery! I wish I was not so far away! I am glad that your whole family is there to help you!
You need to take pics of your swollen foot!
But the pics of your kids are so cute! I love the sock monkey! So cute!
