Just when I thought I was done with injured family members, doctor visits and hospitals - I get sucked backed in...Jeremy broke his collarbone skiing today. He doesn't remember how it happened - his friend Noah saw him go into some rocks. Jeremy didn't just fall a little bit - he fell hard. Thank God for his helmet - which had the straps torn from it. 
I don't know if you can see from the pictures but he landed on the left side - his face is swollen and you can see the bruise where the collarbone is broken. It looks much better in the picture. You can't tell that it is thrust forward about an inch. He broke his bone all the way thru. We are meeting with an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow and I suspect that surgery will follow soon after.

I will post again tomorrow to let everyone know how the doctors appointment goes.
Other than this latest drama, everyone else is doing well. Samantha went back to school on Monday and is happy to be back. She is pretty sharp and catching up on her class work like a pro.
Daniel was mad at me a bit today because he thought the news about Jeremy was an April Fool's joke and he thought it was a bad one. Isabella is glad to be back in school and hanging out with her friends. We signed her up for Kindergarten next year and she is getting really close to reading. She is still fighting it a bit - but I catch her sounding words out when she really wants to know what it says.
We are getting snow again - everything is white and crunchy. :)
Guess we are back in normal waters again - doctors appointments scheduled, prescription bottles on the counter and a glass of wine sitting next to my computer.
Stay tuned for Jeremy updates - until then...
Love to everyone!
Hey there! So sorry to hear about Jeremy. Sam is looking amazing! I can't believe Isabella is going to Kindergarten! We have made the difficult decision to hold Gabe back another year, so he will do Kindergarten again. He is smart enough, but, unfortunately, he is more into the social aspect, and not into learning quite yet. Everyone loves him, which is great, but it also is making him into the "class clown", and we need him to settle down, and learn that school is not just for fun and play time, so anyways...looks like they will be in the same class year!! Love you all. Give hugs to everyone! Hope to see you soon!
