The movers will be here tomorrow to take my computer, so this will be my last post for awhile.
We did have one special event that I thought I would share as my parting post. Father's Day was extra special - we spent 4 hours in the ER.
While I was cleaning up from a yummy Father's Day dinner, Jason was taking out the trash - and the kids... we bouncing on the blow-up mattress upstairs (after having been told several times, not to indulge in such activities). From what we gathered, Charlotte got a little extra bounce and her chin hit the hardwood floor. I hear her crying and was ignoring it. She cries a lot, especially when her 2 big brothers are involved. Then I hear Jayce telling her she had better go see me, the little flag went off and I met her at the top of the stairs. Her chin was bleeding profusely. I didn't even try and look at it really good (I have some experience with chin injuries, they always need stitches).
I told the boys to get their shoes (I found out later that Grahm thought I was kicking them out to the street). I grabbed a paper towel for the blood, met Jason on the front steps and informed him of our family outing. He held Charlotte while I made sure we had the appropriate insurance information and off we headed. By this time she had stopped crying and it had stopped bleeding!! We were admitted at 6:45pm and 4 hours later and 7 stitches later we were on our way home!
She was so tough, she hardly cried at all. I asked every nurse I talked to that I wanted someone good at stitches, so what did we get? A resident, who even I could tell she didn't have a clue how to suture (no offense to any of my favorite residents out there). I hope it heals pretty, I was willing to take her to a plastic surgeon - I told them I wanted it pretty. I am still angry about it.
Now she is twins with her mom!!
I will post again in a month or so - from JAPAN!!

Oh, no! Poor Charlotte. I'm glad to see she wanted to be a big girl about the whole ordeal. What a trooper. I hope it heals nicely.
I'm so sad that you guys will be leaving so soon:( I really wish the best to you guys on your travels and in Japan. Please keep in touch especially about your crafty endeavors. Good luck!
Poor girl! I kinda re-lived Lucy's stitches from a year ago thru poor Lottie's story. I miss you- we were in So. Padre but I thought of you because I knew you were moving... it makes me so sad to think about all of my friends scattering over the world. Best of luck with the move over-seas! I'll be checking for updates.
Love ya!!
