September: Luke started preschool on September 7th. He goes to school 5 days a week for 3 hours a day. My parents came to visit September 9th, two days before Keith was leaving for 3 weeks of training in Wisconsin. With Luke in school in the middle of the day, we did not get to do too much. We did make a trip down to Va Beach to walk the board walk and enjoy the nice weather. My dad left the 20th, and I convinced my mom to stay to help me while Keith was still gone and to help when I have my surgery in October.
October: Keith got home Oct. 4th and I had my ankle surgery Oct. 5th. I had a 3 inch tear in my peroneal tendon, which resulted in a little bigger incision. I lived down stairs in the recliner for 3 weeks. I spent the first week in a soft cast, then progressed to a hot pink hard cast. Week 3 I got my hard cast of and most of the stitches out, but 4 stitches had to be left to ensure proper healing. Now I am in the lovely black boot. We had a good time carving Luke's pumpkin, which he decided was disgusting and wanted nothing to do with once we got the top off. The 30th we had a great time at the trunk r treat! Keith wore his fire fighting uniform and Luke was a clone trooper. We spent Halloween with our good friends the Harlans.
