Broken

About 10 days after the sprain diagnosis at the ER, David's ankle just wasn't feeling better and the orthopedic told him it was actually a break.

After another 10 days staying home with his leg elevated three pillows high so it would be above his heart, David can go back to work on March 12.

He's getting really good at hopping around on one leg and using his crutches.

Since he's been hurt, Leah has also had some hurt ankles that have required her to skip and jump around the house or stay up a little later at night. Her one-legged hop is adorable.

We are hoping it continues to heal quickly, and he'll get the cast off on March 23.

We are really grateful for his parents that have driven him around when he has needed to get to the doctor or work. It's been wonderful to have their help.

Madison, VA

We took a country drive south to Madison, VA.

After buying bulk oats and other items at an adorable country grocery store called Yoders, we went to see the animals they had out back.

Both girls love to swing.

Grandpa Carrier was trying to get the girls to be brave and let the chickens eat out of their hands. Um, that wasn't going to happen.

They did agree to throw the bird feed through the gate.

It was a fun excursion to get out and explore a new place.

Sprain

David sprained his ankle playing basketball.

It was his first basketball related injury, which is really amazing because he plays so much.

After the game, we took him straight to the ER.

We were in and out in an hour. Amazing huh?

Luckily, nothing was broken.

The girls are taking good care of him.

Aren't they the cutest nurses ever?

Happy Valentine's Day

It was a good one.

I slept in and woke up to breakfast and flowers.

David got Leah a special heart necklace and Sarah got silly bands.

We watched a movie and ate chocolate.

Leah snapped a picture of my love and I.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yum

Both of the girls enjoy donuts.

They also like sharing an orange, passion fruit, banana, raspberry, blueberry, spinach smoothie.

I love how they used two separate straws, and I wish I would have gotten a video of them giggling when Sarah figured out how to blow bubbles.

Pig Tails

They sure make her look so much older.
