I have the most amazing family and friends. I consider myself extremely lucky.
Within three days of hurting my knee, my mother-in-law dropped everything and came to take care of me and the kids. She stayed for an entire two weeks and cleaned, cooked, played with the kids, drove us places and saved the day! We couldn't have done it without you Grandma!!!! And a big thanks to Grandpa for letting us steal Grandma for that long. I know he missed her.
Not only did I have help from my mother-in-law, but my friends have come to the rescue. I have spent the last two weeks at home with the girls trying to accomplish everything that a mother does for three small girls but doing it all on crutches, while trying to spend most of the day with my leg up (stinkin' doctors orders). My friends have stepped in an brought meals, cleaned my house, did the dishes, made beds, helped with laundry, and picked me up for church. I'm tearing up as I type this because I wouldn't have gotten through this without their help as well.
The ward has been incredible. Meals have come in every day this week. My visiting teacher called me as soon as she knew I was hurt to ask what she could do. Members in the ward help watch my kids during Sacrament Meeting and help me load them in and out of the car on Sundays. I've had sisters ask if they can take me places or pick up groceries. I am so grateful for this second family that we are a part of.
I have at least another month or two of recovery after surgery, so I know I'll have another thank you post to my mom who is coming to save the day after my surgery as well as a big thank you to my sweetheart who has taken on all of the things I normally do for our family, and has done them without complaint.
Here are a few pictures taken over the last few weeks.
Swimming lessons. (I already had them signed up before I got hurt)
Didn't get any pictures at the pool since I was on crutches and didn't want to worry about carrying a camera too.

Priceless. She LOVED swimming lessons so I'm not sure why she is pouting. And she got her hair chopped off while Grandma was here.
One weekend we took a drive to Provo Falls.
Celebrated Pioneer Day with a few more sparklers. This time Madison wasn't as scared.
