A week of accidents...

Actually, every week is a week full of accidents...lots of falls, bumps, and bruises...but this week we were hit harder than usual. On Wednesday Katie fell in the bathroom and suffered a mild concussion. We were pretty worried at first. She was very pale and lethargic and just wanted to lay down and sleep. She also threw up, which is another sign of a concussion. She could walk and talk normally so the doctor said we didn't need to bring her in. We just continued to watch her and she ended up being just fine. We're taking some precautions for about a week...no bike riding or soccer playing...but otherwise she's back to normal.

Our second accident happened today. Gage was running down the hall at church, tripped on his shoe, and fell head first into the glass of the door. Scott bent down to pick him up and saw that he'd split his head wide open. He rushed to find me so we could head to the ER, but luckily two doctors in our ward helped us out and we fixed him up at one of their offices. Thankfully, Gage ended up not needing stitches. They just glued him back together and stuck a big bandage on his head. Since he's so young, he should heal up quickly, but he'll have an big battle wound on his head for a while.

Poor kids. Hopefully we're done for a while.

Gage and his big band-aid.

Still happy and giving us a big cheese.

At my parents house today.

Had to get one of Jace in there...eating, of course. Some day he'll learn to put food in his mouth instead of around it.

p.s. The butternut squash pizza and key lime pie were delicious!!
