Monday

It is Monday and the weather here is very much a dreary fall day.  The trees are losing their prettily colored leaves.  Thank Heaven we got the netting on the pond yesterday.  Now we need a big wind to take the leaves away.

Emily got her thumb caught in a door at school last week and had an x-ray.  Amy got a call from the Dr's office this morning and the tip if the thumb is broken.  That means no gym or gymnastics for a couple of weeks.  She will be pathetic tonight when she is told, but will forget about it by tomorrow morning and will just deal with it.  For all her complaining and griping about things, when it comes to more serious things, she has a terrific attitude.  This is a picture of her first bone break.  The patheticness lasted for about a half hour.  Don't you just love the pout?
