He's going to kill me...

...but look at how cute he is!?!?!


My little gimpy boy. He broke a bone in his left hand playing soccer last night. He endured the ride all the way downtown just having his broken hand on ice (I'm not sure, but it took at least an hour) and then got worked on by a military doctor. But he got his hand set- without any anesthetic!- and is home safe now. Of course, he's home resting, sleeping through the pain today.

And of course, the worst part of this whole thing for him? He can't go surfing for the next 6 weeks at minimum- possibly as many as 8 or 9. :(

Get well soon, Joel! Hopefully it will only be six weeks...

I must say that I just got three degress colder just looking at this picture. I'm all bundled up in a cozy blanket reading this, and I cannot fathom that it is warm enough to be wearing shorts anywhere in the world right now! Enjoy every moment of it! :)

Ha ha! The only reason it is cold in here, is because we're keeping the air con at a chilly 20 degrees. :)

"... little gimpy boy." Sounds like Joel has a new nickname. Those military doctors will make you tuff.
Will that cast be gone by the wedding or will you just put cuff links on it?
