Other August - September Happenings

 Before school started, I took the kids to Elevate to get out some energy.  They had a blast.  Here are some of my pictures.

Becca started swimming for the high school this fall.  

Mary all decked out in her Tiger Scout uniform.

George and I participated in religious retreat day out at ISR in Septemberas part of the Ad Altare Dei emblem.

September also included a trip to the ER for George.  With the hail damaged we got, there are a lot of new roofs in our neighborhood.  And they don't do such a great job catching all the nails in the yard.  George did a great job finding one with his foot.

If there is a right way to step on a nail, George did it.  The x-ray showed the nail was right at the bone but did not go through.  He didn't like it felt with the lidocaine so he had some laughing gas as well.  Good thing because the mask over this mouth muffled the screaming as the doctors pulled out the nail.  There wasn't any blood on the nail and just a small dot on his foot.
