May 29 2009. A day to remember........

Before we get to the good stuff, Here are 2 pictures of the boys helping out at home.

So, on top of everything else, Buzz decides to write all over the walls! Luckily it was with washable crayon and not permanent marker. He did learn how to wipe it off, though....


Ok, now the fun part! Last Saturday, our out-of-town potluck group met at Fon-Du-Lac park in East Peoria. We grilled and had a great time visiting and playing baseball with the kids. After supper, the guys went down to the baseball diamond and started hitting balls around. The kids were hanging around the baseball diamond, and buzz decided to start climbing. He made it to the top of the bleachers (about 6 feet up). All of a sudden we hear a crash and terrible crying. Amber saw him laying on the concrete with blood all over. We knew right away stitches were going to be needed on his chin. We quickly packed everything up and hurried to Methodist where Andrew was a trooper and got 6 stitches on his chin. Thankfully there were no broken bones!

The ironic thing about this episode is the timing. Exactly 1 year ago, we were at another park in Peoria with 1 of the same couples (Lucas and Diana Gudeman), and I dislocated my knee and had to be hauled in to the ER. Next year at this time, we are avoiding parks, and the Gudeman's (no offence Lucas and Diana.....).




Stitches!

Buzz after we got back home. The nurse at the ER told us she is afraid this little guy will visit them often. Just in that short time period, she could tell he was a dandy!

Poor Poor Buzzy......
