Poor Gunnar (poor Adrienne!)

 The biggest news of this week is bad news-- or maybe not news at all since it's been posted on Instagram already.  Gunnar somehow fell while skiing, probably because of the powdery ski conditions.  AJ carried him down the mountain and they went home and iced his injury.  The bruising and swelling went down, so they were hopeful it was just a sprain.  Surprisingly, Gunnar slept all night.  When he woke up complaining (and not willing to put any weight on his leg at all), AJ and Adrienne took him into the hospital to make sure.  He has quite a bad break in his Tibia.  The really bad news--he can't put weight on his leg for 8 weeks.  I was told 8 weeks in a wheel chair, but I did see a picture of him with crutches, so I'm not sure how that'll all work.  I'm sure it will be a difficult 8 weeks for Adrienne.  We'll have to help her pull through it. (Adrienne said he tried the crutches in the hospital and it was too painful.  He may be able to use them in a few weeks).

Also newsworthy:  Finn started walking today!

 Today is Andy's birthday.  Happy Birthday Andy.  I just got home from Texas last night.  I have a few more pictures of Max and the baby. This is a link to Maverick's newborn pictures.  They turned out really cute. newborn pictures

As you can see, the weather was quite nice for most of my trip.  It was a little hard to come home to snowy and cold conditions.

I should have mentioned last week that Maverick was born on Jieun's birthday, making 5 January birthdays in our family.

One fun thing that happened in Texas was that Elise and I got to go and visit Jenny Norton.  I couldn't convince my Jennie to come with us--"I don't even know her."  Jennie, Jenny said that you are Facebook friends, Instagram friends, cousins and you share the same name.  Yous should have come with us.
We had a nice visit, and William and Max played super well together.  It was fun to see her.

It was great to get home to Roy, though hard to leave Max and Maverick (and their parents).

Tonight we have Nick and Dan and their families here.  Jieun made Bbimbop (a delicious Korean dish with rice, vegetables, beef and egg).  Then we had some Asian pears and apples for pre-dessert.  Root beer floats for real dessert :)  Adrienne had previous plans with the Green's, and Crista has to go to her own ward so it doesn't leave her time to come for Sunday dinner very  often.  We always miss those who can't be with us.
