Walking your bike can be very dangerous!

Well, last Friday we had GORGEOUS weather. In the 70's and Madison spent all day outside. She was getting ready to take a break and was walking her bike to the back porch when she tripped and fell on the bike, the pedal to be exact and sliced open her knee! She was quite a trooper despite the initial freak out over the blood. We ended up spending 3 hours in the emergency room and left with a glued knee and immobilizer. They were going to stitch it but still immobilize it so they decided to go for the glue instead. Donovan was surprised that I was actually trying to talk them into the stitches. Only because I know the kid doesn't hold still! So, far so good and only a couple of scares thus far, but it looks like it is healing and we have a story to tell! She is excited to get to keep the hospital bracelet, ace wrap and splint when it is all done. Only 3 more days in the immobilizer! Thank goodness!!

Hi there! I'm glad to see you're back. Poor Madison!! (and poor mom for the scare). The girls look so much older since we last saw them. Genavieve especially has changed so much. Hope you are feeling well!

so great to have an update - bummer about the fall. Guess she is just like her mother, hugh? I think it's great how much our kids take after us. God is great, and such a sense of humor. Looking forward to more pics and updates.
