We are starting ER visits early in life! Great

Jacob broke his leg!! Yesterday Miranda and Jacob decided that it would be fun to try and slide down our stairs on a cushion. Just for your information cousins don't slide, so when Miranda pushed the cushion with Jacob on top the cushion stopped and Jacob did not. Needless to say he hit his leg very hard right in the shin and broke it.

He was a trooped through it all, I think it was scary more than anything because he didn't know what they are doing. He now has a full leg splint and we will go to the Dr. tomorrow to get a permanent cast on. He can't put weight on it so we have to carry him everywhere. It will be interesting to see how he does staying down for so long.



As you can see so far he is okay with it because he gets to sit and watch movies more then usual.





Thanks to Grandma Mills we now have a Brand new wagon which will act as Jacobs wheel chair. The kids had so much fun with it and Miranda loved to pull Jacob around. They played together for hours today while Jacob sat and Miranda got to take him where she wanted him. It worked out well.

Did you discuss taking the wagon down the stairs?? It does have wheels but somehow I don't think it would turn out any better.

He looks sooo cute on the couch!
