Well the last couple of months we have enjoyed lots of lovely days to remember and lots of family and friends over for visits and sleep overs! But I think this post should begin with our first broken bone which happened just as we removed our Christmas tree last year! It was around mid December, for us it was early, we just decided to put up the tree a little earlier so we could enjoy its beauty a little longer! The girls were excited and playing and the next thing we know Sky is on the floor and crying and I look at her arm, it was definitely a little bent. A green stick fracture the Dr told us, a cast for a month should put it right! Well Sky was a brave heart through the whole ordeal, she surprised us with her shining spirit and positive energy. Summer struggled seeing her sister in pain as she received a 'poke' for the intravenous drip, in the hospital drowsy after her anesthetic with an oxygen mask and then with her new cast. She stayed the whole day with her and us to make sure she was alright. They are such a loving pair sometimes their bond touches me beyond words. Sky was happy and laughing in a few hours as I read them both The BFG while we waited for the Dr to discharge us. Sky enjoyed a sugary cup of chai as her first meal after a long fast! throughout the month Sky really was a brave heart, hardly a complaint at the sometimes inconvenience of having her whole arm in a cast. She enjoyed all her friends writing on it and brightening it up!
We entered the New Year with a bang, it was a lot of fun with friends in town from Bombay, lots of fun evenings, dancing, lunches chatting and generally four days with close loved ones doing frivolous stuff we don't get a chance to do much with friends we don't see so much with us living in the country and them in the big smoke! Here's to 2014 and it's already February!!!
That is an impressive cast, Sky! Thought I'd get a chance to sign it tomorrow but I see that this post includes a few months' worth of news so I am assuming the case is off by now? If so congratulations! If not, I hope there is some space for me to add a few doodles to it.
