“Little Mo” With the Gimpy Leg

Poor Danielle has spent the past week and a half in pain. She managed to sprain her ankle answering the door and, with a 4 week old baby, was obviously reluctant to take the time to go to the doctor. Long story short, the doctor (not to be confused with "The Doctor" whch would have been really cool and probably infinatly more helpful) was seen anyway and now Danielle is hobbling arond on crutches. Well, she was on crutches, but we found that the rolley office chair is much more efficient for getting around on the hard wood floors.

She's doing her best to be "Super-Wife-Mommy" but a five week old son and crutches don't really make for the best circumstances around the house. That leaves me as the only mobile human on the premises and that's just not a good idea for anyone. I may be wearing slightly less than clean shirts to work this week and our dishes are starting to bear a striking resemblance to various wonders of the ancient world.

Hopefully this is short lived, but when we're old we'll have no lack of interesting stories about Eli's first few months. In the meantime, I guess I'm stopping on the way home from work for paper plates.
