In case you haven’t heard, there’s a reason for why I’ve been silent for quite a bit longer than I had originally anticipated.  The week after I returned from camp with Mini-Me, I spent a good portion of it in the hospital with Daughter of Purpose.  This was not planned.

While DOP was playing tag at church, she fell awkwardly and broke the top of her femur–they call it the neck of the femur.  I knew something was wrong when she wouldn’t stop whimpering, seemed to be in unbearable pain and could not put weight on her right leg.  She just kept crumpling to the ground whenever I tried to put her down.  So off the ER we went.  6 hours later she was in surgery.  DOP now has two pins in her hip and is in a wheelchair for 4 weeks.  This certainly adds a bit of spice to our life!
