Labor Day Weekend

Our Labor Day weekend was so much fun, although we got off to a rough start! On Friday afternoon, we were outside playing with the kids and Jackson was pushing Ella in her big car. He accidentally pushed too fast and she went flying down the driveway and began spinning out and went over the ledge to the neighbors stone pathway and fell on her face and split her forehead open. We spent 6 long hours in the ER and walked away with 17 stitches, 5 internal and 12 external! Not a fun evening. She was a tough baby girl and was so tired by the time that we got the stitches that she fell asleep and slept through being stitched up! She got her stitches out on Wednesday and is healing great. We are so thankful that she was not seriously hurt and that the CT scan was negative. It could have been so much worse! After we moved past that, we had a great weekend. Dad came to visit and we went to the farm to see the Irons. We cooked out, played with the horses, sat by the fire and spent many hours talking and watching the kids play. It was a very relaxing weekend despite the drama of the ER!
