Ringin' In the New Year @ the ER

Happy New Year! Just when we were feeling relieved to be done with 2009 (good riddance was our sentiments last night upon reflecting on the past year) New Years Day had a fun little ER run in store for us. This picture doesn't quite do it justice, but you get the idea.

The kids and I were meeting Jared for lunch and while walking into the restaurant Evie slipped on the wet floor and did a crazy twirl and her lip and the door jam connected for a big old split lip. It looked so deep that we decided to take her to the ER just in case so when she is 18 and the SCAR MARK is still visible we aren't kicking ourselves for not going.

All was well though and no stitches needed. Evie, being a girl, perked up at the idea of a bracelet from the hospital. We were helped by a nurse practitioner from our church and so that was great and always good to see a familiar face when we are in those sorts of situations.

I will say...we called it - Evie was our first one to the ER for an accident, not Leyton. We're 0-1 for actual stitches or breaks, so we'll see who does that first.

Praise God it was so minor and she is well, all to often it seems like life comes down to the millimeter.
