Tennis, Hockey, and Skate Party

Helen and Adam came to my tennis match on Saturday morning





Adam wasn't really into my match. He was more focused on building a town with the rocks.











In the afternoon, we all went to Adam's hockey game


Relaxing and watching football after being out all day

We were all exhausted, but it didn't keep Adam from inviting his friend Ryan for a sleepover

It's Not All Bad

Having a broken leg is a pain, but there are some advantages - like being waited on by everyone. Derek has set up camp in the family room. He has accumulated a big pile of everything he needs: the wooden spoon he uses for beating his cast to scratch his leg, his electronics, books, clothes, etc.. It's a big mess just like his bedroom.

I was stretched out on the couch on Saturday watching some football after being out all day. Derek came into the room from playing XBox in the living room and said that I had to move. That the sofa was his.

And the food and drink orders are relentless. Cookies and milk please.

Ortho

Last week I took the boys to yet another orthodontist appointment



Adam got his bottom retainer removed, but he still has the palate expander on the roof of his mouth. The orthodontist said Adam will get full braces early next year and he'll have to wear them for a couple years.

Derek got the bands for his braces removed and in a couple weeks he'll get the rest of the braces removed - yay!
