Last night we threw a family party for Ben's 16th. We reserved our church gym, ordered 11 pizzas, made a two-layer birthday cake and 36 cupcakes, and had plenty of balls on hand for Battleball, Four Squares, and PIG. The kids had a blast making yet another memory for their collection and a good time was had by all, at least until 10:30. That's when Eli fell and broke his collarbone (which we officially had diagnosed this morning). It wasn't the best way to end a party - but at least it didn't happen at the beginning of the party!! (By the way, E.'s doing much better today - he'll be in a sling for awhile but he's glad he busted his right flipper. He figures it will get him out of schoolwork. Yah, right.)

Oh, that's horrible. Hope Eli recovers quickly. And by the way, a few years ago, my daughter broke her right arm (she's right-handed). We were due to start a new school year the following week, and she expected she wouldn't have to start then. Alas...we started school, and she learned to write with her left hand. (It wasn't very pretty, though, but she DID do school.) I figure you might give Eli a couple days to recover, then it's back to school as usual.
Send along get well wishes!
Love,
Patti
Praying for Eli! Hope he has a quick recovery!
Thanks, ladies!
