Tony, Tony, Tony has done it again

Happy Birthday Tony!!!

We had a wonderful BBQ with over 30 people here on Saturday to celebrate Tony! The weather was gorgeous and we grilled up burgers and dogs for everyone. The kids played and the adults chatted. It was an awesome, relaxing day!


After he blew out the candles, he turned them around to say "23" instead of "32".

U of O tie for casual Fridays.

So, as awesome as Saturday was, Sunday was that terrible. Tony was working on his honey-do list and he went up to look at our broken attic fan. He was looking up and following the wires and not necessarily looking where he was walking. He slipped and stepped in a spot that was not reinforced. His entire right leg went through the insulation and plaster, and through the ceiling in the hallway. Maddie and I heard the crash and saw all the debris fall (along with his shoe) into the house. I went running up to the attic and he was bleeding all down his leg. Luckily he was able to hobble down the stairs. He was in a lot of pain and had a large gash on his knee, so I rushed him to the emergency room. After 3 sets of xrays to rule out a possible fracture, we are happy to report that he has no broken bones. He did, however, need 4 stitches to close up the leg wound. It was super scary, but we are lucky that it was not worse.

This was after they cleaned everything up. It doesn't look so bad in this pic, but the wound is deep!


After we got home, Tony is elevating his leg. The doctor told him to stay off of it as much as possible, but he decided to go to work today anyway!

While we were gone, my mom and our neighbors cleaned up the pile of stuff that came through the ceiling. (I wish we had a picture!) Then they taped over the hole with a Corona beer box. Umm, a little White Trash, but it'll do until we can get it fixed. I told Tony that if he wanted to get out of doing his chores, he could have found a better way than this! I guess you lose a little coordination when you reach the ripe old age of 32!

Maybe next year's birthday weekend won't be quite so eventful! Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes, cards, calls, texts, emails, gifts, FB messages and to everyone who came and celebrated with us!
