But it's a good excuse!

So wow, it's been a while, huh?

Well, I do have an excuse, and I think it's a good one. Our youngest, our 2-1/2 year old son, broke his femur, and has been in a spica cast (basically he has a cast all over one leg, half up the other, and a body cast up to his nipple line - yes there is an opening for ... well, you know). So he's been couch-sitting, which means my wife and I have been catering to his every need. Add to that a 4-1/2 year old daughter who just started having homework to bring home, normal day-to-day to-do lists, and a growing business to run and ... agh!

But he's starting to become a bit more accepting of life and is quieting down so we're starting to breathe a bit easier and get back into a groove. Hence, this post.

One thing I did learn is that we are lucky - I've seen parents with very young children in these casts, and parents facing months and even a lifetime of having a son or daughter immobilized, and .. my heart goes out to you.
