We began the month of August with James and Shawnee's wedding and receptions. They were married on Friday, August 1 at the OKC Temple and we then traveled to Stillwater for a reception there. Arrived home about 12:30 AM, got a few hours rest and hit the ground running to get ready for the McAlester reception on Saturday evening. It was a busy day, but everything was so nice -- the Cultural Hall at Church was beautifully decorated, the food was wonderful and a good time seemed to be had by one and all. Lots of friends and relatives joined us for the evening.
As parents, Kathy and I couldn't be prouder that Shawnee has joined our family. She seems perfect for James and they are so cute together. We can't wait for everyone to get to meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Scifres!
Yes, there's been a slight bump in the road in our life, but we are so blessed! Kara and Kathy's accident on Saturday, August 9 could have been so much worse. As most of you know, Kara has 2 fractures in her pelvis -- one in the front and one in the back, both on the left side and a fractured rib. Kathy just got tossed around and is sore, but she's pretty much fine now.
When I told Kara about the new blog -- she said maybe we could post a picture of her car on the blog. (James -- You've got the only picture of it on your cell phone!) The had to use the jaws of life to get her door off, so they could get Kara out of the car.
Anyway, she's doing so much better. Getting up and down is so much easier than it was when she came home from the hospital last Tuesday. We're sure grateful for the wide doorways in our house -- because we're able to take her in the wheelchair anywhere she needs to go in the house.
We're going to see an orthopedist (not sure if I spelled that correctly) here in McAlester on Monday afternoon. That's an important appointment -- because Kara will be out of pain pills by Monday night.
Well, that's about all for now. We appreciate everyone's concern and prayers for Kara and Kathy. We could feel everyone's love during the past week.
