Injuries

Well, we had an eventful weekend! I still have a few pictures to upload on here from my new camera but I really haven't had time. Christmas was very exciting and the kids were very spoiled and they still have money to spend. I think we are going to hold off a while and let them either add to their wooden train set they got or let them get digital cameras for kids. They love taking pictures with mine and I have been letting them with my old one but they ARE NOT touching my new one. On Christmas I would lay it down next to me on the table (or anywhere) and then I couldn't find it. David kept moving it to the counter so nothing would happen to it. That man is silly.....maybe he should have gotten me a nice case to store it in! hint hint! Anyway, we opened our presents which took a few hours considering the breaks for dress up and playing with toys and also breakfast! How many kids stop opening presents to eat breakfast? Anyway, then we had lunch with Papa Wayne and cousin Althea. Later in the evening we had our birthday cake for Jesus which went very well. I will definitely be adding pictures from that for everyone to see! In the middle of all of this Grace and Andrew had been fighting over a matchbox car and for a minute they were fine so David got up to do something else and Grace took off running with Andrew very close behind. She fell and he fell on her legs meanwhile she slammed her chin and mouth into the wood floors busting both lips, her nose, and chipped a tooth. The chip is very small and only her mommy notices and no damage to teeth....praise God! This is the second time she has had a big mouth injury with no damage to teeth. She looked pretty rough and today it is finally healing and looking much better. Poor baby! We called the neighbors who came to our rescue yet again and had popsicles that she could eat.

Last night, the kids were running around and Andrew ran into my office and past me so I couldn't grab him and he tripped and fell behind my chair and hit the corner of his eye on the sharp corner of my computer stand. He was as close to his eyeball as he could have gotten. We put ice on it immediately and today the cut is there but no swelling or black and blue....yet. Not sure how he missed his eye or getting stitches...it was really close. Praise God again!

It sure has been crazy around here but the kids are happy and healthy and we are so blessed with all that God has given us and the opportunity to spend time with our family during this wonderful season! I pray the rest of you feel just as blessed!
