Lauren broke her ankle trying to chase down one of her students during a field trip. The doctor put her ankle in a cast and advised her to stay off her feet for two weeks. That would mean no teaching, so she set up a long-term sub for her class. Meanwhile, Stephen has been a great caregiver for his wife, treating her to her favorite movies and breakfast in bed.Year 2: Child event – twin girls
