After his party, I was going to take our kids to the Cluff's house to swim, stepped off the porch wrong, and hurt my foot. Didn't make it swimming because I couldn't walk, but laid on the couch and iced my foot.

Icing my foot and reading Dick and Jane with Gabe.

Made it through dinner and dessert with the family. Happy Birthday, Gabe!

The next day it was more bruised and swollen and I couldn't put pressure on it so I went to the emergency room.

Yep, it's broken! Made an appointment with an orthopedic to have them fit me for a cast. 


Day 6, swollen and bruising up nicely.  The break is at the bottom of my little toe, just above the bruising.
Leaving on our sabbatical trip in 3 more days! Need to pack up the kitchen so it can be remodeled while we are gone for 2 months. 

Zach (yellow jacket) was one of the few freshman invited to the Glencoe football camp in Hermiston for a few nights. 

Waiting at the DMV the morning we are supposed to leave on our trip, for Zach to take his permit test for the 2nd time.

He passed this time!



Moved all the furniture from the family room and kitchen into the front room, ready for the remodel.
