There's A First Time For Everything...

...that's the old saying, isn't it? If so, today Jacob experience his first real "injury." He ran into something in one of the play rooms at school and split his eye open. Su called me with the news and fortunately I was able to get to school within a matter of minutes (I work just around the corner.) We spent about three hours at the ER and Jacob has his first three stiches. He continues to amaze me with how brave he is. His only tear came from an injection to numb the stitching. He did say as we left, "Don't want to go back to hospital." I don't think any of us do! I will get a picture of the injury although I don't have one yet.

However, I can't go this long in between posts without sharing some image! This is Patrick last week for his eight month photo shoot. Neithe of us can believe it's been eight months. Patrick is a very hardheaded, energetic, physically strong youngster. He wears me out after a couple of hours. I truly don't know how tiny Suzanne manages an entire day....still, we love him very, very much!

Oouch, I'm sorry. I hope he heals very quickly. Josh didn't get his first stitches until age 9. It was still pretty traumatic.
