So this was 24 hours and not a morning to night day but given the level of busy around here this month I think that I’ll let that slide. **Note: this post is not for the squeamish so skip it if you are ***

The biggest event in our week and I daresay month has been Bo’s ankle surgery. Here he is at the doctors office with the splint or soft cast on. He wore this while he laid in bed for a week.

Ouch! They just put some steri-strips over it and left it like that inside the new cast. There are stitches under the skin so it’ll hold together but it still looks pretty gross in my book.

Here he is with a hard cast which he’ll wear for a month. We’re happy to have him out of bed and back with the family even if he still isn’t weight bearing and a bit gimpy. He wanted pink but I advised black. He’s a smart man and therefore took my advice ;0)

Two of the three kids just being kids. They’re happy and well for the most part. Aidan is two and so we have the requisite 5-10 tantrums a day and Victoria is 8 so she’s right about most everything. Chullain being 12 doesn’t want his pictures taken and lives to spend time with his friends.

One of my favorite pictures! The patio ought to be done on Friday and usable early next week. We were able to hire the rest of it done as gimpy hubby isn’t going to be much help the next 4 months or so and honestly we just really aren’t that good at laying flagstone patios. I can’t wait to get shrubs in and grass laid now that the weather is warming and the patio is going to be done. Hopefully you’ll get some more great yard pictures next month.

Pretty dog. Pretty dog that doesn’t smell bad. We love Ruca.
