Black Eye and Stink Eye




Lukas jumped onto a turned over bench to amazingly miss completely popping out his eyeball. However, he did end up with an enormous swelling, screaming, bleeding sore above his eye which has now drastically reduced to just a bar-fight black eye (thank you to Arnika natural cream - I don't know about all homeopathic stuff, but that one is amazing stuff!). The sweetest moment of it (besides the "Praise you God that he didn't lose his eye.") was this: Lukas' friend Grant was over that morning and just as the trauma began, I was in my crazy calm crisis mode of decifering to go the E.R. route or "wait and see" route, and Grant just calmsly says, "We need to pray for him." Well of course! Embarrassed I didn't think of that. We then did pray for Lukas and wonderfully Lukas stopped crying and we were all able to cope! Grant will be hopefully coming over more often and teaching Lukas to memorize scripture.


The second photo is of Adelaine's practicing one of her many rascally faces. She often says, "Look mama" to show me that she has just mastered either rolling her eyes or pouting lips or whatever. The pride wells up within me.

OK, you are hilarious! Grant definitely has a LOT of Scripture memorized, so be prepared! Ha. So glad he was able to think like that so quickly. Makes a mommy very happy! You were kind to NOT mention though that my son was the one who probably concocted the pirate ship to which your son got injured on! Love you and your kids!
