 As they say, when it rains, it pours.  Before we were dealing with flooding, Isaac broke his leg playing soccer.   This happened in September, and he now has his cast and boot off and is in physical therapy trying to get back into playing shape, but he still had his boot on when the rains came.   The day Isaac broke his leg was Sunday, September 20, 2026.
