School....and fracture

WOW! 
I can't believe it, but school began today! Andrew it in 5th grade, Xavier is in 3rd, Haileah 2nd and KAylee is in first! Amazing! Ambrelyn has 1 more year of preschool before she will be  a full time Kindergarten girl :o(

Well, it wouldn't be a Gramzow school year with out a trip to the ER!

LAst night everyone was all comfy in their jammies around 6:30 or so. Corry was wrestling on the futon with the kids. They started off playing "family stack up". A game where the kids all lay on top of Corry from largest to smallest until all 5 kids are piled up on dad at one time. After a while it was HAileah and dad. She was on his back trying to hang on as he was trying to dump her off of him. Well......

She would be the very athletic and strong one who held on for dear life and tried to "dump dad"!! She managed to dump them both and her hand ended up between his shoulder and the metal frame of the futon. She got up screaming and the hand instantly turned purple and got VERY SWOLLEN. So we were off to see the doc at the ER around 7 last night. The Xray showed a fracture in her hand bone at the first tiny bone on the top of her hand. She is in this velcro cast/splint thing and has to see a sports medicine doc on Wednesday. 

The doc at the ER seemed pretty pleased with he way she fractured her hand. He said "better a dad that plays with his kids and the kid gets hurt than a dad who ignores his kids". This made Corry feel better. So did the big hug from Haileah at 10pm last night when we returned home from the ER. She told her daddy "it's not your fault daddy, don't feel bad. We had fun and it was just an accident. I forgive you." Amazing kid.... Amazing dad. 

Will update the first day of school later! 
Be blessed!
