Abby's Accident

Five minutes before we were about to leave on a sledding trip, Abby decided to climb the fence; actually the gate that was leaning on the fence...it tipped, she fell and, to make a long story short, she broke her leg.
Here it is in all its hot pink glory.


She has been a good sport. She asks me now and then, "Off, Mommy, pee (please)?" When I explain that we have to keep it on for a long time so her leg can get better she says "What!?!"
As of today she can walk with it and that makes her feel a bit less "stuck". She looks like a little peg leg pirate hobbling along!

WHAT??? you guys are wearing shorts and t-shirts outside? and what is all that light coming from in the pictures? is that the sun? after looking at your blog and erin's i officially hate wyoming. well, at least today. i am going to take maggie swimming this afternoon at an indoor pool. that's how crazy people get up here. we're not ashamed to show our pasty white, translucent skin to the world just for the chance to don a bathing suit and splash around in some over-chlorinated, stranger-filled swimming pool.

Saturday was an unusually warm day. Abby has to wear shorts because her pants don't fit over her cast. Hope you have a good time swimming!

Ashley, this is Emily Hall. First of all...so sad about Abby's leg. Second of all...I love that it's pink. I'm assuming that the pink obsession that I saw at Erin's wedding is still continuing! Hope it heals quickly.

Hi Emily! Yes, it is still the same pink obsession. Ethan has now moved on from green to blue and Marah has changed her favorite from blue to red. But Abby is sticking with pink for now. :)

Poor Abby and poor mommy! I guess the sledding trip was postponed to another day. :)

Hope you're all out enjoying the nice weather this weekend!

P.S. This is Katie Ford...I'm sure you know lots of other Katies.
