Crazy times! What started out as a nice relaxing day at the park playing and eating lunch, turned out to be a visit to the emergency room later. Mason, Emery and I went to Liberty Park with some friends from the ward. We were laughing, playing, eating lunch and just enjoying being outside while the weather stays bearable and Emery takes a head dive from the picnic table bench right onto the cement ground. It was AWFUL!!! She just started screaming. (Which by the way the doctor said was a good sign.) I scooped her up into my arms and went into mother mode. I checked her to assess the damage the fall had caused. She looked really beat up. She had raspberries on her for head and some blood on her nose. It was so sad. I held her to try and clam her while a friend held a cold cloth to her goose egg and 2 more friends that packed us all up, gave her some medicine and took us to the hospital. I can't believe how tough she is. Right when we arrived at the hospital she went to Jake and immediately stopped crying. She became her happy self again despite the enormous bump on her head and her mothers tears. (It seems like mothers hold it all together until the child is fine, then they release all of their thoughts, feelings, and emotions about the event. At least that is what I do.) Emery is much braver that her woosey mother. She is such a sweetheart. I just love that little girl!! I am happy to report that the doctor said he saw no real concern at that point and just to watch her. He did also comment that she was the cutest patient he had seen all day. (I thought of course, tell me something I didn't already know! :) We are all doing fine and thanks to all the help from our awesome friends.

Oh my heck! I dont know what you are talking about you not being strong. You kicked butt! I was seriously so proud of you, I know I didn't do much, but I don't think I could handle it that well! What is too bad is that we were tlaking on the car about if that day was going to be a flop trip or not! haha!
