Saturday

 

Saturday was very eventful.  Sam and Seth had their first soccer games.  Jeremy had exchanged his TERT shift for this week at my request so that he could take kids to McKay's kids' birthday party next week.... so he was gone and in the rain for two days.  

It was raining when Sam and I got to the field.  We left Evelyn and Seth home to get their chores done and we bundled up and left. Sam did really well and I was proud that he made it through his whole game without a break.  Then we got home and had him soak his feet in epsom salt because he was sore and limping.  After he was done, he couldn't put any weight on his foot at all.  I called the after hours doctor at the podiatrists office and he thought it might be Severs disease.  We were told that we could come in on Monday to get it checked out.  

I got the bathroom cleaned and the laundry sorted. Then Emma brought Rosie and Peter over to play while they went for lunch with some friends.  My kids adore them and were more than happy to play with them. It was time for Seth's game though, so we loaded everyone up in the van and took them to watch Seth play soccer.  When we got to the field it was pouring buckets.  I didn't feel comfortable holding Rosie out in that, so I sent Seth off to his game and sat in the car with Peter and Rosie to wait for him.  It was his first time on a big field and it sounds like he like that part.  Jack's mom says that Seth made some good saves as a goalie.  Seth was just sad that they lost 0-9.

Jer took this picture at back to school night.

My cousin, Mindy, was doing a fundraiser for some college courses she's doing at the UofU.  Making Navajo tacos.  I swung by and bought a bunch for us.  So yummy!  

Emma and Stephen picked up their babies and stayed to visit for a bit, which I always enjoy.  Then I took care of dinner and tried to figure out what to do with Sam.  He still couldn't put weight on his foot.  We stayed home from church the next day both because his foot and because we all have a cough that's just lingering.  I went to play piano for choir and Sister Hart asked me if everything was okay because the rest of my family didn't come to choir. I told her about Sam and that he was resting at home.  She said not to worry and she'd be over in a minute. She brought her X-Ray machine to my house and x-rayed his foot on the front porch.  She's not a doctor (she's a home health x-ray tech), but she did say that she saw a crack in the bone by the growth plate..... so Monday morning I called around to all the podiatrists office on our insurance until I found one that had an opening that day.  We got him in and sure enough, he broke that little tiny bone in his heel.  He is not thrilled.  He can't put weight on it for 4 weeks.  That disrupts lots of his plans too.  He has 2 PE classes, the new soccer season and his new job as a referee that all have to be rearranged now because he can't be up and about.  He's pretty mad.  I took him to school this morning to get it all figured out and I think he'll be okay.
