Crutches + snow + kids = Disaster

There won't be any pictures with this post yet! But soon enough!

So, 7am on Wednesday morning I was walking down the stairs with Beau and my foot slipped out from under me. I quickly tried to grab onto the banister on my right but couldn't get a grip and my left foot got caught underneath me, somehow, and I fell. My first thought was don't drop Beau, I don't want to fall on him, what do I do. So I did my best to throw my body backwards which caused me to fall on my left foot which was underneath me. Throughout the day it started to hurt more and more.
Finally I went in for some xrays, the doc said that he was 80% sure that I broke my foot and would need surgery but he needed a CAT scan to be 100% sure. Well, it was confirmed today that my FOOT IS BROKEN in not one but TWO PLACES. But GOOD NEWS is I don't need surgery. I just get to wear a nice big ski boot for 4-6 weeks and be on crutches, and carry two kids around, and finish Christmas shopping, and shoot weddings in the snow on ice in December. Okay, I'll stop I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed, but TIS THE SEASON!!

I do feel very lucky that Beau didn't get hurt, just a little scared, and that I didn't have anymore injuries. So, "there's always something to be thankful for."
