Morning

Today I dropped Walker off at our church building.  His scout troop is driving out to Moab for a week of outdoor fun (the kind of fun that your mother doesn't want to know about, because she'll spend every day while you're gone waiting for a call from the ER).

Then Morgen & Hyrum went on a walk with me.  We ate breakfast when we got back, and now they're upstairs cleaning their bedrooms.  I'm watering the irises I got from my Dad last month, and updating my blog :). 

Last night the kids played catch with a football in the yard.  I sat outside with them and knit, and dodged the football.  It was a beautiful moment.

So, Morgen's fine.  But she tripped and fell on the empty aquarium in her bedroom, and sliced open her arm.  One panicked trip to the ER and a lot of stitches later, we're back home, and she is upstairs resting and watching a movie.  I told her she should remind me about this the next time I ask her to clean her room.  Apparently it is more dangerous than I knew!

I put a picture of her stitches after the gratitude list.  I won't share the before picture- it is truly disgusting. :)

Gratitude List:
*  Modern Medicine. Stitches. Anesthetic.
* God kept me calm long enought to drive safely to the ER.
* A working vehicle.
* No cut tendons.
* Angry Birds :) because that game kept Hyrum occupied while the doctor stitched up his sister's arm.
* Good insurance.
* Everything will be fine.
* God is good.
