"Broken Leg, and I Ain't Talking About the Turkey's!"

For Family Fun Day number 2 (Wednesday Nov. 21) Grandma and Spuncle (Super Uncle Jason) took the kids to the "Kangaroo Zoo" for some jumping fun. The brother and sisters stayed at home to surprise the mom by putting up her Christmas lights. Both of these events were not very productive! We postponed the lights due to lack of extension cords (Anne couldn't find them). And the jumping fun came to a hault when R.J. jumped off a slide a little to hard and injured his foot. We spent the better part of the afternoon waiting to be seen by the doctor and getting x-rays. The x-rays showed he fractured his growth plate on the top of his left foot. Now he has to wear a beautiful boot for 6 weeks. There went the family Kick-Ball game for Thanksgiving morning. And Basketball season, his first game is next Thursday. Poor R.J., if you really know my son, you can only imagine how he is milking it! And once again there is Drama (remember the flu shot?) The highlight of his whole experience was being able to ride around on the "Scooter" at Target. This Thanksgiving R.J. is thankful for a simple pleasure in life that he will never take for granted again: Feet that you can walk on!
