winter arrived

Sunday we woke up to fresh snow. It was beautiful and COLD! When we arrived home from church at 4:30 it was -13 with the wind chill. All in all its not bad considering that the Chicago winter didn't arrive until January 10th. 

This happened yesterday as well. Before church the boys went out to sled. When there's enough snow the boys will sled down the stairs to the backyard. Carson thought there was enough snow (there wasn't). Halfway down he put his feet down to stop. The sled kept going and he fell the rest of the way down the stairs. He hurt his knee and wrist. This morning his wrist hurt more and was swollen. I took him to get X-rays and they said it was common for the break not to show up for a couple weeks. So now he's wearing a splint and he'll get more X-rays in a couple weeks. 

For as wild and crazy as this boy can be I'm surprised he hadn't broken or sprained something sooner. Love you Carson! I hope you heal quickly.
