With me now working and life starting to get busy again for us, I've gotten behind with updating my blog. I didn't really want to do a HUGE photo dump, I thought it would just do a monthly update of what we've been up to. Once I'm (hopefully) caught up, then I can (hopefully) go back to regular postings as our activities happen. So here's the update on the month of April:
I slipped and fell in the driveway as I was leaving for work....and it was bad. I landed on my knee and I swear I blacked out for a split second. I had just kissed Kristjan off to school too, so he was still nearby for me to call for help. He unlocked the house so I could hobble up the stairs to my room. I had ripped a hole in my leggings at the knee, and my butt was wet from the ground. I whimpered in pain as I maneuvered around my room trying to find new clothes to wear. Kristjan helped me take my shoes off and pull the pant legs of the leggings off as I tried holding the material off my skin. Once I bandaged my knee and redressed, I had to have Kristjan tie my shoes for me. My knee was on fire and I couldn't bend it. I then bucked up and headed back to the car to head in to work. Once at work, I assessed the damage to knee and re-bandaged it up until I could go home and have Peter clean the wound. The pics below make it look bad...it looked even worse in person. It ended up taking over a month to officially heal. I now have a gnarly scar.
A week later
Here we signed Kristjan up for Middle School classes! For his electives, he chose Art and Robotics.
On a sad and tragic note, Jane's boyfriend, Sam, passed away from a heart attack. We made the trip down to Yakima to attend his funeral and support Jane.
We spent the night at Peter's parents house. Here's Chica...still alive and kicking at the moment.
