The First "Football" Injury

Austin went over to a friend's house on Thursday and was playing on the trampoline. While on the trampoline he got his finger caught on Logan's leg and his finger got bent backwards. He went to football practice that night and the next night and even played in his game on Saturday. On Sunday he told us that his finger was really hurting and when we looked, it was swollen and black and blue. We decided to take him to the hospital and they confirmed that it was broken. He couldn't practice for one week and he had to have a splint for two weeks. Luckily, his team had a bye week so he never missed a game.

First Day of School

The kids' first day of school was August 19th. As you can tell from this picture Austin was not used to getting up so early. He started middle school this year at Colony Middle School and he has to catch the bus at 6:30. I also think he's getting tired of the first day of school pictures.

Logan was so excited to start school. He found out the day before that he was going to have the same teacher he had the year before. He really liked Mrs. Farris so he was very happy.
I think Katie was a little tired also. She was also going to have the same teacher she had the year before. Her class is almost exactly the same as it was and she was very excited about that.
