Family: Emma's Leg

For everyone that doesn't know, Emma broke her leg this past Saturday. She was at a birthday party at a local "inflatable games" place and just landed wrong. She has what's known as a buckle fracture just below her left knee. She now has a cast from about mid-thigh to her toes. She's been very sweet, but also very uncomfortable. Today was much better in that she perked up to her normal self and started sitting up by herself again. She seems to be in much less pain, but if she could figure out a way to take that cast off...it would be off. She'll have it for about a month.
She's already going a little stir-crazy, but we're making the best of it. We're reading lots of books and watching "family movies" and playing games.

You have my sympathy and Emma has my prayers. It seems like we have been to our inflatable party joint every weekend for like a month, as Hayden calls it "Pumpadump" (Pump it up). She likes it so much and has so much fun. Although after her last adventure there with bleeding elbows - I kinda like her rendition of the name.

so by "family movies" do you mean "Barbie Fairytopia" :)

I'll give you guys a call tonight while Im driving down to my class and see if Emma is up to talking today...
