NFL Wannabes


Joe and Joey were playing football in the backyard on Joe's lunch break on Wednesday. Joe jumped to catch a pass and his foot came down wrong on the curbing around the sand pile. His ankle swelled quickly and it looked like there was a baseball attached. I had to help him get in the house. Joe hopped and put his arms around my shoulders. Joey said, "Dad you look like a real football player with an injury!"

Some TLC, ice, Advil, and an ankle brace have really helped and he is doing much better. It sure does look disgusting!

That looks like it really hurt! Hope Joe is feeling better.

You and Sharon!! Enough with the ugly foot posts!!!!

Totally cool to have an "old football injury" though. Not quite as cool to have your wife help you off the field. Hope you are up and running again soon.

I was checking blogs wondering what I should have for a snack... I looked at Joe's foot and now I am not so hungry anymore :) Get well soon!

Guess I had better come back to St. George. I didn't have a problem playing catch with Joey! I just let the ball bounce. Hope it looks worse than it feels and is better soon.
