OWIE!

It was a rough weekend for Delaney. First, she bangs her knee on the wall and gets a HUGE bruise, then on Saturday she was sliding on hardwoods and took a header. Lots of blood. Everywhere. She busted her lip pretty good. After 20+ minutes of calming her down and wiping away blood, she decided she was ready to play again. It didn't take long before she re-injured the same booboo! Rough housing and bumped her mouth on a friends shoulder! More blood, more screaming. This is what she looked like by the time we got home.




She is doing fine. The lip is still swollen and she has a blood blister under her lip. We went to the Dr. today (unrelated issue) and The Dr. said that it was bruised but only time could heal it.

Sean and Owen go to school

That's right! Today was the boys first day of preschool. We have been talking it up for quite some time not. I was totally prepared for them to both have a total melt down and not make it through the morning, but they both surprised me. Owen did cry for just a bit when I left, but was told it did not last long. They both had a great day and only one potty accident each.

And, just because I think you should see it... when you are done checking out the jewelry and entering my contest, please check out Tuesday's Name Gallery. Back when Tuesday was sick, my sweet friend Tamara, came up with this idea, so that all of Jess' friends could let her know that Tuesday was always in our thoughts. Tamara took our creations and made them into a pillow for Jess and now, you can view them :)
PLEASE feel free to send your own versions of Tuesday's name, to let Jess know you think of Tuesday often too. (believe me when I say this, it helps Jess & family to know...)

The second first day

The first week of school was staggered entry for Kindergartners. Meaning the kids only went one day and only a few at a time. This gives the teachers a chance to do a little one on one to get to know the child and his/her needs before they have a class full. So in reality, TODAY was Delaney's real first day of school where she was in her class with all of her classmates. We were excited to find out that she already knew several kids. 2 were in her preschool, 1 is a neighbor that she plays with daily and 1 we have know for 5 years (know his parents since 2000).

One last picture before I go!

FYI~ the little blonde sitting right beside her is her friend from the neighborhood. Isn't he a cutie?

She is riding the bus home from school, so of course, I will have pictures of that later!
