Alyxibeth was jumping on the trampoline and John came from behind and “stole her bounce.” Alyxibeth collapsed and said she heard a snap in her leg. We went out to the and she was cradling her leg. Amie called Jacob and he came over and put a splint on her leg. We took her to the ER the next morning for X-rays and a splint. We have an appointment on Monday for her cast.
Silver Falls iMovie Trailer
I started playing around with iMovie on my iPad. This is my third trailer. I am enjoying how easy it is to make a fun little movie of an adventure that we went on. This is from a hike that we took in early March a few days before the lockdown began.

Silver Falls Oregon Hike
James, Daniel and I went to Aumsville and picked up Emma. We wanted to go for a hike at Silver Falls. It is an amazing hike through a rain forest with beautiful waterfalls. I took my GoPro and made a video.
My Birthday Camera

Making “Gingerbread houses”
One of our Christmas traditions is making gingerbread houses. For the last couple of years we have done it with graham crackers. It is a lot less work and still just as much fun. Here are some pictures from this year.
A funny thing happened on the way to the airport
We were taking Lynn and Alyxibeth to the airport. They are going to Los Angeles for surgery on her foot.
The kids wanted to see if our favorite tree lot was up, and it was. So we stopped and bought a tree as we were heading to the airport. Luckily they said we could come back after we dropped Lynn and Alyxibeth off at the airport.
