Quality Time with My Dad

This weekend I got to spend some quality time with my dad. A week ago my dad was working in the back yard and fell 8-10 feet, landing on the concrete, which resulted in him compressing a vertebrae, fracturing his lower leg, and tearing a tendon away from his ankle. As bad as his injuries sound, we are praising God that nothing more serious happened. Since he ended up having to have surgery on his ankle, he is out of commission for the next couple of months. For those of you who know my dad, it just kills him to have to stay off his feet and not be able to do much.


I had the pleasure to get to help him out since my mom was out of town with my grandma in the hospital. With the weather being rainy all day Saturday, we had a great time just relaxing, watching the Olympics and playing cards. Jim joined us Saturday afternoon and stayed until this afternoon. I joked that we were having a slumber party at my parents.

Maddux of course loved spending the weekend with her grandpa being spoiled. Andrea, Reggie and Corban were even able to make it over to see us all. Corban was missing Maddy and was so excited to get to play with her. By the end of the night though, Maddux was ready to just crash on the couch.

I caught Maddux trying to hide behind all of my dad's pillows he has to use to prop up his ankle. Isn't she cute? I had a great weekend spending time with my dad, Jim and Maddux!
