Marcus meets the ER!!

Well this is a "first" that I wasn't looking forward to and to be honest I wasn't expecting to experience this early on. Marcus had his first trip to the emergency room this week. Thursday afternoon I had got off work, went to the bank and Target and while I was driving home Chris called with the news. Marcus had pulled one of our dining room chairs on top of him, this resulted in a cut about 1cm in length and because it was a head wound there was lots of blood. I think Mommy and Daddy had a more difficult time with this then he did, he bounced back extremely quickly and yet Chris and I are still healing emotionally. Its true what they say, we wish we could have taking that gash for him so he didn't have to feel any pain.

The day after:

 
They were able to use liquid stitches instead of actually stitching or stapling the gash. Hopefully since he is so young and they were able to use the liquid stitches he will have minimal if any scaring at all.
 
This was by far the most difficult situation I have faced as a parent, Chris agrees!
 
Thank goodness our sweet baby boy is okay. We love you Mister, you are so brave and Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!
 
Love,
Chris and Katie

The Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we went to a local pumpkin patch to celebrate Jackson's 2nd birthday. My friend Kaylee did such a great job, and what a great idea for a venue! Marcus had a great time as did Chris and I. The pumpkin patch had us SO excited for our trip to Apple Hill later this month. Here are some adorable photos from day:
 











 
Happy 2nd Birthday, Jackson!

Update!

Hello Friends and Family,
Sorry I've been MIA. Some exciting news: I started back to work with the district last month. Its very exciting to be back and I'm at a school where I feel VALUED and APPRECIATED, its amazing. I am truly blessed to be given this opportunity. Last month was a rough adjustment, I'm pretty sure I struggled with every emotion on a daily basis. I miss my little guy but I know in the long run this will be so great for our little family. I promise now that I've adjusted to my new schedule and my training is wrapping up that I'll do better about keeping my blog updated, with the holidays right around the corner I'm sure there will be LOTS to blog about. Love and miss you all!
 
Love,
Katie
