Emergency Room for Kirstyn

Today we had a bit of a scare…  Kirstyn was singing and dancing around the house while I was out mowing the lawn and she rolled her ankle really bad!  I didn’t hear her yelling, but I happened to look over at the sliding glass door and saw her laying on the floor trying to get my attention!  I ran in and took a look.  We thought it might be broken, so after a couple hours of watching it, we took her to the emergency room where the did x-rays and the works.  Poor girl!  Turns out it’s a severe sprain (almost torn).  They gave her a boot and told her she had to wear it and try to stay off of it as much as possible (but to use crutches to get around).  She was devastated as they have a couple of BIG marching band competitions coming up!  🙁  She’s bound and determined to march regardless, so we’ll see how it goes!

One funny thing that happened while we were there is that the x-ray technician working at the hospital that night actually recognized Ben (she did his head scan when he cracked his skull) and asked him how he was doing!  🙂  That’s what we love about living here!  🙂  He told her his head was all better and that we now have covers on the window wells.  🙂

Soccer and General Conference

Today we had a busy day and it seemed even more busy without Angela with us!  🙂  She’s having a great time over there, despite the oppressive heat and humidity.

Today was General Conference and we were excited for that.  Turns out that Zach’s soccer coach’s (Jason Robbins) dad is a General Authority (member of the Seventy) and he gave a talk during the morning session.  It was really great!  After the morning session, we went to Zach’s soccer game.  I had a chance to talk to Jason about his dad’s talk and that was enjoyable.  🙂

Zach did a great job playing today.  He’s getting better and better every week.  He’s not the star of the team, but he really enjoys playing and doing this is helping him become more active and agressive which is great for him!  🙂

The game was out of town in Westminster and so it took us about 90 minutes to drive up there.  After the game, we dropped by Sam’s Club up there, picked up some groceries and ate hot dogs and then came home and watched the recorded second session of General Conference.  The boys and I then watched the Priesthood session together at home.  I was surprised that they sat and watched the whole thing with me even though they didn’t have to.  What good boys!

Kirstyn Choir Concert at CV

Tonight Kirstyn had a choir concert at CV.  She’s in Versailles this year and as usual, the choir is really good.  Unfortunately, I didn’t record the entire concert for Angela to listen to when she got back.  🙁

Great job Kirstyn, you have a great voice that we all love listening to!  🙂
