THe Big Pink Cast







As they say, "it's always fun until someone gets hurt" and that sums up our day at the Orr Farm. The Farm is a place with a petting zoo, pony rides, a train and carousel--all of the things Audrey loves. Then we decided to jump on the bouncing pillows. One wrong landing and I knew Audrey was hurt. So after an afternoon in the emergency room we found out she fractured her leg right below the knee!






Now she will have this beautiful cast for the next 3-4 weeks. She is quite the trooper and has learned to get around by crawling or being moved by her favorite mod of transportation--Mommy and Daddy! Walking is a little tough because the cast is so long it puts her out of balance. So far--getting comfortable at night is the toughest thing, and the fact that she can't do her favorite thing: take a bubble bath. So we improvised with a sink full of water and bubbles.

I just love the bubble bath/sink photo! I hope things are getting a little easier. Harper constantly asks is Audrey is "happy?" I will have to show her these photos for her to understand what I have been talking about! Take care,
