3 months

Can you believe it, our precious little Ada is 3 months old.

Italy Through the Eyes of the Horns

Erin and Michael did a really cool video of their trip to Italy.   There is a bit of Paris at the end.   For those of you who aren't friends with Michael on Facebook I thought I would share the link.

Enjoy

Erin & Mikes Adventures

Cutie Patootie Ada

Isn't she a doll.  I think she's working on her Elvis Presley sneer.

The hits just keep on comin'

So,  just sat down and relax after taking a big adventure out to WalMart.   I receive a panic phone call from Mindy that she needs help.   It's Gage and he's hurt.

Stan and I jump in the car, well as much as I can jump, and drive as fast as possible to get to Jeff and Mindy's house.   Jeff and Jaxson were gone, at a baseball game.    We get there and Gage has fallen and cut his head open.    Can I tell you how much head wounds bleed.    Stan carries Gage to the car where I tag along on my scooter and Mindy with her crutches.     Urgent care is closed.....we go on to the Emergency Room.    The look we got when we walked, or should I say lumbered in.    Mindy on her crutches, me on my scooter and Gage covered in blood.    One lady even looked at us and said, "Not your week huh"

Well, we got in pretty quick and were taken back to a room.   Gage was more worried about all the blood all over himself.     Stan had to rush home because in our rush to get out of the house, I left a big pot of eggs boiling on the stove.

Once we get in the room the doctor came in and started stitching him up.    Can I tell you how brave Gage was.    He never even cried.   He was such a  big guy.    5 total stitches.  1 on the inside and 4 on the outside.

Once we were ready to check out here comes Papa.   He took us all to Sonic so Gage could get a big treat for being so brave.

In the mean time, poor Jeff calls and is quite worried.    They were in the middle of playing a ballgame and he didn't check his phone until the game was over.    He showed up just after we got home.    Whew......what a night.  Things happen in threes, so I think the Horns are done!

Foot Surgery

Well update on my foot surgery.  I had surgery on Sept 5.    I had a bone spur on my heel that is under the Achilles Tendon.  They had to cut the Achilles Tendon, shave off the bone spur and then reattach the bone spur.   Also I have a bone out of place by my 4th toe so they cut and fixed that while they were "Under the Hood"

Here's how I started 10 days ago.  

Well after going to the doctor today, 10 days later it looks exactly the same.

The doctor said that both the incision looked good and it looks like I didn't do any damage when I fell last week.   At lease that's good news.     Stitches need to stay in another week and then after that I can actually wash my foot.   Boy that will be nice.

I do have a new mode of transportation..

The scooter does give me some freedom.  I was even able to go outside and weed eat the other day.    Boy I miss driving.

Well Wednesday of this week I will be going back to work.   Don't know how I'm going to survive without a nap.    Guess we'll see.
