Sunday - Our first Accident!

Sunday morning Mr. Smith up and left for D.C. for work, just for one night.
The boys and I went shopping and then went to Jan and Jez's for a get together to meet up with Roy, from Digby!- who is here for a week to check out the place before his wife, Alison, and family move over for a few years in June, I think.
Gail and TJ were there with their children which cheered Alex up cos TJ is his soccer coach and his son James is on his team. Sue and Dave and the girls, Mark, Andy, and others. I knew Mark from Digby but I didnt know all the others there. It is nice to spend time with loads of Brits! (That's not to say all the American people I have met haven't been lovely, cos they have!)
It was nice to see Roy again, and Alison was part of our 'Wives Trip to Amsterdam'! I have to find 'THE' photo. Those of you on the trip know which one I mean!!
It wasn't long though before disaster struck!
Alex flew off the trampoline in their back garden, and hit the ground, smashing his kneecap on a tree stump! Lots of fuss, ice packs and toe wriggling later I got him home and put him to bed. Thank you everyone- Roy, Jan, Jez, Dave, Sophie, TJ, Gail, and Sue-who offered to leave the party and come to the hospital with me! You all helped look after Al so well.
