Caring for 4!

We are now on week 3 of having a newborn baby and I would say that we are doing quite well! While a little delirious at times, we are settling in and finding out what our new normal will be with three boys! There has been one unfortunate mishap that has throw us quite a curve ball...last Saturday, Thomas went to go play soccer with some friends at a park and as he was running to get the ball, he rolled his ankle. I was there with them with the boys and noticed him favoring his foot but didn't think much of it as he continued to play. When we were leaving, he said that the pain was getting worse and as he told me that when it rolled, her heard a pop. All signs that something was broken. So that night, at around midnight, he headed to the ER. He came back with his foot all wrapped up and on crutches. Turns out he broke his 5th metatarsal bone in his right foot and has to be on crutches for 3 weeks in a boot! He will then go back to the podiatrist to see how things are healing at which point he will hopefully be out of crutches and just having to wear his boot. This has probably been the hardest for him because he feels terrible that he can't help out much. Poor guy! He really has been so understanding and patient with me as I am caring for all 3 boys and then trying to respond to his requests as well. And as far as the basement goes, my brother is coming tonight to texture the walls! We are so excited to be taking this next step. No more drywall and mudding! It's amazing what Thomas has still been able to accomplish!



Thomas is finishing up some last minute touches before we are able to apply texture to the walls.
