Third Times a Charm!

This past Monday Porter split his head open while racing Megan around the house. Somehow he fell and hit his head on the edge of a cabinet. There was lots of blood and tears, but don't worry I didn't panic, sadly I'm getting use to this - maybe because this is the 3rd time he's split his head open! (Jack has also split his head, just a couple of months ago!)

Sean was at a Blazer game with a friend and I really didn't want to go to Urgent Care with all 3 kids so I called him and asked him to meet me there. Poor guy only got to watch 20 minutes of the game. He left the game right away and almost got to the Urgent Care Center before we did! Sean took over from there. The doctor saw Porter right away, irrigated his wound and then stapled his head twice (according to her it's a lot less painful then stitches)! His cut was a little over an inch long and deep. The doctor was very nice and let Porter keep the staple gun she used and then said that his dad needed to take him to Krispie Kreme for a donut - doctor's orders! Porter's loving showing everyone the staples in his head and the staple gun that put them there. The kids at school are pretty impressed!

Megan's Baptism

Megan was baptized April 11! It was a very exciting day for all of us. Both sets of grandparents were able to be there along with several friends. Megan's Oma said the opening prayer, her Poppy gave the talk about the Holy Ghost, Michelle Wadsworth (family friend) played the violin, and she was baptized and confirmed by her dad.
