Sometimes, just sometimes...there is a perfect moment...

I used to participate in a blog feature called "Perfect Moments" and I miss doing them...so, I think, especially during these times, I need to find and document those perfect moments.

Often times perfect moments happen from imperfect circumstances.  For example: Today is a cold, slushy day and Michael decided to not deal with commuting to his one class today and instead catch up on some homework.  Willow woke up with a sore throat and head cold, and since she is already Depressed and OCD...she decided to work remotely for school.

But...out of this, the Perfect Moment:

The two of them (who barely do anything together) are playing a video game (specifically Super Mario World on the Wii). I am in the kitchen, working.  Hearing them interact with each other, laugh and groan with each other...I can not ask for a more Perfect time.  

So things suck...but, lets have some pictures!

Staring the New Year off...with an OW!

Willow slipped and fell on a patch of ice yesterday--today, x-rays show no breaks--but bad sprain!  

Time for the BOOT!

In this family, we are ALL familiar with the BOOT.

I had one when I had a hair line fracture of my ankle a few years ago:

And Chewy has had a Boot a few times:
 

And who could forget Willow's full on brace for her knee surgery after she broke her patella!

Even Michael has had his time in a Boot--a couple of years ago, he broke a toe and had to have one for a couple months...although I don't have a picture of it---he did have the best line tonight:

As Willow struggled going up the stairs with the boot on, he said: "And just imagine doing that while working at CVS!"
