Freedom!

Last Thursday was a BIG day at our house. Garrett was getting his cast off. It was a topic of discussion all day in his class as his friends helped him count down the hours and then minutes until I was to pick him up from school. I think they were looking forward to his favorite weapon for torture to be removed. I could tell he was a bit nervous by all the questions he asked. Mostly in regard to the electric saw a friend told him they would use to saw the cast off. Brynne joined us on the trip to the doctors office. The nurse was so nice and tried to make light of the saw and joked with Garrett but you can see the fear on his face.

As soon as his cast was off and the nurse had gone to get the doctor and check the x rays,Brynne came up to Garrett and told him excitedly,"Garrett hey, you're not broken any more!" She was so happy she figured we ought to do just what Dora does when there is good news. Celebrate by singing and dancing, and since I had my camera she insisted I take some pictures of her and Garrett dancing. Of course she didn't let me off the hook either and she actually got a shot of me doing the happy dance. So here is our Celebration Dance!
