This time instead of Jack or Dan breaking something it was Sarah. We were at Bible study at a friends house on Sunday and Sarah and her friends were playing a game, as she was going down the stairs she tripped over herself, stubbing her big toe. Well, I guess she actually stepped on her big toe if you can imagine that, it kinda curled under her foot as she stepped down. Anyway, I brushed the injury off as just a strain and told her she would be fine the next day. She wasn't fine, but went to school on Monday as usual, limping. When she got home and was still complaining I took a look and discovered a bruised and swollen big toe so when Dan got home I took her Urgent Care (not a first choice place, but our only option). The x-rays revealed a broken toe with an official diagnosis of: "Nondisplaced Salter II fracture in distal phalanx of the right great toe." She has to wear a special boot/shoe to keep her toe from getting re-injured since the part she broke is on her growth plate but since it wasn't displaced it was a clean break she should heal nicely in about 3 weeks.

Ouch! I hope it heals well and fast. It's always so scary when children get hurt.
Oh man, I don't remember her crying or anything?? Poor thing :( I hope it heals fast and the pain can be controlled.

Oh and I love the belly shots! I hate you girls that look like you just have a pumpkin or basketball in your tummy and don't have anything anywhere else! I always gain it everywhere BUT my stomach! lol
