Lot of Pictures

Okay, I have all this pictures to share so enjoy.  The girls at soccer.

Snuggling on the couch with George and Lia.

Enjoying the dirt next door with the neighbor kids.  This is a brand new house that no one has moved into yet.

Becca dropped to the ground as I took this picture.  She's not hurt, just silly.

We went to the Gamma Phi circus at Illinois State last month with the Cub Scouts.

Lia spent most of the time switching from Mom's lap to Dad's lap and back again.

For Earth Day Becca made a dress out of recycled materials.  This is what she designed.

It has been a busy month but I think that's just the way life is with four kids.  Despite our adventures this morning, we are all healthy and loving life.

ER trip #3!

Today we made our third trip to the ER, this time for George.  He tripped on the way into school this morning and his face meet the asphalt.  After I got him up and about ten steps, I saw the blood gushing down his chin.  I got him inside and help from the school office (Thank you ladies!)  There was so much blood!  After cleaning it off his face, I noticed a chunk of asphalt in his lip that I removed.  Then I noticed the hole in his tooth line!  With all the paper towels and an icepack, we made our way to the ER where Dad meet us.  Here is George with Mike as we waited to go back.

He calmed down after we saw the nurse, at least enough to smile for the camera.  Holy swollen lip!

They gave him a little something to numb his lip (pictured below) followed by a nose squirt of meds to help keep him calm.  If you know George, you know he do NOT like to be messed with.  All this to prep him for two stitches.

 I now know what a drunk George is like.

 The adventures ended with two small children passed out in the car.

He fell about 7:45, we got home at 1.  We've had a lunch of chocolate chip cookies (which always makes you feel better) and are not just relaxing.  The challenge the next few days is keeping him from licking his lip.
