Busy Week and Weekend

Last Wednesday Jenny, Olivia and I attended Michelle's confirmation service. It was really nice, a little long, but very nice. It was held at Holy Hill which made it neat since I had never been in that church before. Olivia was very good, she decided to be "Grandma's Girl" that night. Gave Grandma a workout with going "up-um" and down but overall behaved very well, especially with the service lasting two hours and not getting out of the church until well past her bedtime. Besides Grandma and Grandpa she got to see a lot of her aunts, uncles and cousins again which always maked her happy.











On Saturday we were in Richfield all day for Jenny's soccer tournament. Her first game was at 11:00 am and unfortunately they lost that one but we got a nice picture with the team, coach and Assistant Coach Steve. Olivia wasn't real happy about getting plunked down in the middle of these sweaty girls all wearing the same outfit. She of course posed for the camera but was a little overwhelmed by all the girls.
The team played again at 1:00 pm and this time won the game, the big event though happened more than halfway through the game. Jenny was running full blast after the ball, took a bad tumble and dislocated and broke her left pinky finger. While screaming on the field, a sports EMT was on the scene immediately to help. The funny and amazing thing was that there also....just happened.....to be a hand surgeon in the crowd who came right out to the field to see if he could help. He saw that the finger was dislocated, grabbed it a put it right back into place before she had any time to think about it. Whoever you were........thank you! I think it saved her a lot of pain later by getting it back into place so quickly. So from there, Steve and I, Jenny and Olivia gathered everything up, threw it in the truck and headed to the emergency room. As we pulled up, Pastor Bauer just happened to pull up next to us for another emergency so Jenny could not have had more help and support that day. Someone sure seemed to be watching out for her!!!
After some x-rays and Tylenol, it was determined that her finger was broken so they put a splint on it, wrapped it up and we went back to the soccer field to cheer on the team for the 5:00 pm championship round. They all played really hard and came away with second place medals and trophy. Overall, quite an exciting day for all of us.
