Richards broken foot!

Well here is richards broken foot which happened a week ago, while he was playing in the hockey tournamnet. He was turning around the net and his skate just broke (They were 10 years old and actually rotten) and he was going pretty fast and he slammed into the side boards with his foot and it was completely turned the other way. So yea a very very bad break. His heal is broken and bone in his leg in 2 spots and popped out of joint. So the ambulance came to pick him up and i was so freaked out at this point because he looked like he was in so much pain and we didn't at that time what was wrong exactly if it might have effected his neck or back but thankfully it didn't. So in barrhead hospital they reset his foot and did x-rays and from there took him in the ambulance to westlock and they did surgery that night. They put a steal plate in his foot and 10 screws. So he has to be off his foot 6 weeks with no pressure on it and than 3 months physio. He will get a cast put on feb 12 because this is only a partial cast. so yea a long road to recovery! We are very thankful that it wasn't worse but we have to realize that are lives are so fragile and things like this happen within seconds and we never think that it will happen to us but it can!

The kitchen. The countertops are not working out the way we hoped since they are taking so long to dry but we will see when its completely dry and see what we do. Other wise i am so happy with it. The island needs the countertop on yet but that won't be for awhile.
The rest of the kitchen.
