A big group of us ladies and our children went to Meadowside Nature Center. I just love that place! And so do the kids.
Another fun outing--a trip to Cunningham State Park for the falls and some swimming.
We went to the Lang Wedding in Laurel and it was a beautiful ceremony. I really enjoyed the dancing--I don't get to dance as often as I would like.
Next up was our heavily anticipated trip to New Jersey. What didn't we do while we were there?!
Sam's for delicious pizza
I think the most significant thing that happened to me this month--besides turning 26--was breaking my right ankle on August 15. Lizzie had fallen asleep upstairs in my parents' bed so I decided to bring her down to Julia's bed where she usually sleeps. On the second half of the stairs, we fell. Lizzie stood up and walked to the bed unharmed, but I knew I had done something awful because I could not touch the heel of my foot to the floor without feeling excruciating pain.
My good brother Joe rescued me from the front steps and whisked me off to Cape Regional Medical Center at 10:45pm. Katie and Dad came later for moral support. Bill and Dad gave me a blessing when I eventually got back to a room. I broke my right fibula, which is the bony part of your ankle.
I had a temporary cast and wrap for five days. When I got back to MD and saw my orthopedic specialist, this is what my foot looked like:
I was sent home with a walking boot. Thankfully that allowed me to be much more mobile, although I still couldn't drive.
And I think that brings us to the month of September here at For Love of the Killion :)

So sorry about your ankle. No fun. We had a great time at your place for the BYU game...thanks again! So fun that I got to join you on some of your August activities. WOW, you did a TON in New Jersey!!! You were right, you went about everywhere. So fun!
Gah, that poor ankle!! Sadly, my husband just missed your hospital visit-- in September he started his current clinical rotation at Cape Regional Medical Center. Seriously, next time you are in Jersey we need to get together! Elsa would have a blast playing with your little cutie pies. :) She's overwhelmed with little brothers right now.
Ruth, that BYU game get-together was great. We need to do it again the next time you're in town!
Wow, Jul, how cool! That's not too bad of a drive for Josh. Yes, the next time we're up, we need to see each other. (It'll most likely be sometime near Thanksgiving.)
