Bed Head

ER Visit...again

Yesterday morning seemed to go pretty smoothly. We started about our routine as normal. The kids eating breakfast, me making their lunches for school (well, Ella's lunch. Jacob was still sick so he was going to miss). Everything was all fine and dandy until Ella slipped and fell. She was standing on the chair at the table and busted her lip (which we've told her a bagillion times not to stand in the chairs). I mean, her tooth actually went THROUGH her lip. So yes, she had a hole, and lots of blood of course. Cue my slight panic attack. I yell at Daniel to come back, who was literally getting in his car to leave for work. Ella and I then head to the ER to take care of her wound. While sitting in the waiting area, I take a look at her lip again, and the small hole that was there had already closed up. I was debating whether or not to leave, because I knew they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. And sure enough, the doc said she could try to stitch it up, but that it would probably be best and less traumatic to just leave it alone and let it heal on it's own. Plus it would probably scar more WITH the stitches. Next time I'll listen to my instincts better. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.


My prediction for ER visits was completely off. I was certain that Jacob would be my accident prone child. I think I need to reevaluate...


Not the greatest picture, but you can kind of see it...I must say, after two visits to this particular ER (Baylor), I'm pretty impressed. We were in and out in under an hour, just like our first visit. However, I'm definitely not looking forward to the bill that awaits us...

New Beds

They just grow too fast!

Jacob was getting too small for his toddler bed and couldn't even stretch out. Ella still had some room to grow in her toddler bed, but she kept falling off and would end up sleeping on the floor. So, thanks to Grandma-grandma, the kids have big beds now, and they love it! They both got to pick out their own bedding too...

Snow

Last week Texas and pretty much most of the U.S. got bombarded with some extreme wintry weather. Since we got snow, of course we had to play in it...

We made snow angels...
Jacob rolling the snowball to collect snow...

Ella helped to...
The snow wasn't really sticky, so Jacob carried mounds of snow to me...
So we could build this! Our snowman!
