Yesterday (Sunday) we were able to enjoy time with lots of different friends. We went to Chuck-E-Cheese for our friend Brayden's 2nd birthday. Emma loved all of the different things to do, even though she just sat on things while we took pictures. She rode a motorcycle, dirt bike, rode with Bob the Builder and even Chuck himself. It was a fun party. After Chuck-E-Cheese, we went over to West Fargo for Jace's 4th birthday party. He had a construction zone themed party with a super cute cake and decorations. We had fun there too. Emma couldn't quite keep up with all of the boys, but she did pretty good. Last night we went over to watch the Vikings football game--that was fun too!

Emma's Accident

Our little sweetheart made it almost a whole month after turning one before she had her first 'big owie!' Elliot was at Guard Drill last Saturday so Emma and I were having a GIRLS ONLY day to ourselves. I was checking out some things online with Emma standing up by the barstool next to me. Next thing we know, she's on her back with the barstool on top of her. Needless to say, it was a bleeder. She has a few bruises too, but the doctor was able to glue it up (about an inch) rather than do the whole stitches thing. We had to watch her pretty closely for the 48 hours following the accident to make sure she didn't bother the cut. She made it past that point and it looks to be healing up pretty well. Here's a picture of our little bruiser after her accident.
