Happy Easter!
Hope you all had a great weekend and a Happy Easter. A lot of Christians say Merry Christmas and Happy Easter without even giving it a second thought. A lot of Christians if you asked them what is the most sacred holiday might say Christmas but everyone that has professed to be the messiah or the king or god as been born and they have also or will die. What makes our religion special is that our King and our God is not dead and he never will. That is why Christians make such a big deal out of Easter, our messiah died and was risen again so that we can have eternal life. Without Easter our religion would be no different than any other. Enjoy the pics!!
Injuries
For those of who you have kids or have had children you are keenly aware of the many injuries one would sustain before adulthood. It makes you wonder how they survive and actually make it to adulthood. Well, the day of March 31 would make us thank our lucky stars.
It started with swimming class for Owen and Sydney. No they didn't drown, but we do always need to keep an eye on Big O as he would just prefer to jump in the deep end and see what happens. But after they were done swimming and Ann was getting them dressed Sydney who was sitting on a bench got her feet caught and fell backward landing directly on the back of her head on the hard locker room floor. It was bad enough that the mom next to Ann screamed. She had a significant goose egg on the back of her head and it is still sore if you touch it, but she had no concussion or headaches and we watched her pretty carefully over the next few days but she seemed to be just fine. In fact she was working on her head stands that evening before bed.
Later that night after we had cooked something on the stove Owen crawled up and stood next to me. Right after I got done saying that the stove was hot and to stay away, he thought it was time to test my credibility and he slapped his hand down on the hot stove. After a few minutes of cold water we looked at it figuring that it was for sure a trip to the ER but thank God there was hardly even an area on his hand or fingers that looked burned. Following a night of burn cream and a wrap, he didn't even blister. Go figure! But I think it scared him enough not to try it again. We shall see.
As far as Cooper there really isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't hit his head on something and i think all three of the kids now have had the triclops bruise.
