Well, February has taken a turn we weren’t expecting.

We had a little bit of time to kill before Awana one afternoon and the kids and I were so tired of being cooped up in the house, so I called my neighbor and we took the kids on a walk. We were almost there and Nathan went down a hill on his scooter and totally ate it. At first, I thought he was just screaming about the road rash, but we shuffled everyone back home and I pulled up his sleeve and was like, yeah, let’s go to the ER. My neighbor, bless her heart, is a nurse and pretty much knew right away that he’d broken it, but had the kindness to not mention it until we had gotten back home. She stayed with the other two and I took Nathan in. A loooong night later, we were back home with a new temporary cast to get us through the weekend.

The Beechem girls came over and helped us not feel so bad about just sitting there. 😉 They are so sweet.

A week or so before this, Gammy called me and told me she’d found a lump in her breast. They did biopsies and x-rays and the morning after Nathan broke his arm, we got the news that she had breast cancer. This is just not a good week. We’re researching all of Mom’s options now. Thankfully, it appears to be contained to the lump. But, oh, how I hate this for her.

In happy news, this little mister had his surgery for his cleft lip and recovered beautifully!! My sweet little Sammy is just the best!!
