I guess I should really post more here in case some people still read it and it is somewhat of a family history. I haven't posted lately because we have had a doozy of a 2014 so far and our other camera is inoperable at the moment so all of my pictures I want to post are on my phone and I haven't downloaded them yet - I don't know how would be a good excuse.
I will catch up more on past events later when I have pictures, but for now, I will say that Michael broke his foot the other day while helping Papa set up for the 4th of July festivities in Utah. We didn't know it was broken so he walked on it for two days with a limp until I took him to the doctor yesterday and they say a part of bone broke off and he has a torn ligament. We will be seeing an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to find out what action will need to be taken. He may just need a cast, but he may need surgery to put a pin in his foot. Worse case scenario we do nothing and his bones fall away from where they are supposed to be and the words of the radiologist "that would be catastrophic."
He has been a trooper and hasn't complained too much. He is on crutches now, but the doctor said no walking on it.
Other than that, no real news on the Esplin front. I had a good time playing in the orchestra before the fireworks the other day at the river. Jacob is sleeping through the night most nights now and I am not so nervous when he does so. He is a good baby and the kids love him very much. Jonathan will even share his favorite blanket with him.
Jonathan has tried nursery a few times, but I have been there with him except for once and Robert was there. He does a pretty good job, but just when he gets used to it we will be missing our own ward for two weeks in a row.
Molli is looking forward to Activity Day girls day camp and then Young Women camp over her birthday. Hannah, just finished summer school and I think she will miss it, but summer can now begin. Michael has a robot lego camp coming up and He is excited for that. Hyrum and Evan finished t-ball last week and both of them enjoyed it the whole time. Playing in the dirt is inevitable, but they still had fun.
Robert is still plugging away at work and might go to a conference in October in Washington, DC (perhaps).
Life is good.
