Fall Break 2011

My Dad, TJ and I took off Friday for a 48 hour road trip to Ann Arbor to cheer the Wolverines to Victory for the University of Michigan football homecoming game in the Big House. (They played Purdue.) However, first we stopped for afternoon in Toledo to enjoy the zoo. It was chilly but the sun was shining and the animals were very active. It was a fun weekend!

Helmsin Visit

April, Emma and Evan blessed us with a visit while Joe is working for Cummins in Columbus. We all met up at Dad's house for dinner, pumpkin carving and a little birthday cake since Emma's special day is just a couple weeks away. It was great to see them!

2011 Football Comes an Abrupt End

Well.........just before halftime yesterday, TJ makes a tackle and in the process finds his right arm smashed between two helmets. Official Diagnosis: Salter Typle III Fracture involving the medial epicodyle of the distal right humerus. My interpretation: Broken Elbow. After a consult with the Ortho Doctor, no surgery is required but TJ is restricted from sports for several weeks. He is home from school today self medicating with ice cream. Todd is relieved that the basketball season does not officially start for several weeks as TJ just made the 56 A Team for his school.
