Our exciting week!!

Last week was quite an eventful week at our house. The most exciting was that Austin and Taylor started first grade. They had a great week and both love their teachers (they are in different classes this year).

Dave had his first monthly exam last Monday, so after everyone got home we all went to the Indiana State Fair, and oh what a fair it is. We rode rides, saw a circus show, played on a little farm, saw a lot of stinky farm animals, and or course ate yummy fair food. Dave's favorite is the big turkey leg. It is pretty yummy, but I feel a little barbaric eating it. He also decided that this was the year to try fried Pepsi. Yup, you heard right, the fry everything you can imagine. Snickers, oreos, brownies, cookie dough, peanut butter cups. For the fried Pepsi they make a batter using Pepsi instead of water, fry it, then they drizzle Pepsi syrup and powdered sugar on top. We were little disappointed, but it was still fun to try.

And last but certainly not least...Dave was at the church playing ball with a bunch of the dental guys, he pushed up to jump for a rebound and fell down instead. Wanna know what happened? He ruptured his Achilles tendon. He is in a cast for now, and has an appointment with a sports medicine Dr. on Thursday. The first Dr's he saw told him that surgery is almost inevitable. He can't put ANY weight on it and has to use crutches. This is panning out to be a hard thing to do when he is in lab trying to carry a tray. Go figure!! The thing is, I think I am taking it harder than he is. We are looking forward to Thursday to hopefully get some more definite answers.
