Well, we have had kind of a crazy week! Not really the week, actually, but we had our first (and hopefully last...) trip to the emergency room on saturday. Mackenzie and I were at a garage sale, she was carrying a pair of shoes, dropped the shoe, and tripped on it. She fell right on her mouth, of course, and when I checked her out I noticed that the inside of her top lip was kind of wedged in between her front teeth. Sorry, I know that's kind of gross. Of course it was Saturday, so none of the local clinics were open. We headed to the er and got into the exam room pretty quick, but then waited an hour for the doctor (I know that still isn't too bad for the er, though!). It was kind of horrible - he numbed her mouth and tried to pull her lip out with a cotton swab and his finger. That didn't work, so he tried dental floss, and finally had to use this little pair of tweezer things. Poor baby - she did so good, just laid there like she knew she had to and held my hand. Then when we left she was still crying but she signed "thank you" to the doctor - it was so sweet. Once we got home she was great! I kept her on Motrin and Tylenol for a day, but she didn't even act like she was in any pain (although she really enjoyed the popsicles that daddy brought home for her!). So, anyway, that was enough excitment for a long time. We have had a fun week, though - today we had a playdate at the swimming pool, which was so fun! Oh, and the top two pictures are Mackenzie "stretching" with daddy before their daily run. She knows when daddy gets home that it is time to get her shoes and hat! The middle picture is Kenz playing with her fridge magnets today. I'm not sure if I posted about our cat (in the bottom picture) who was recently diagnosed with FIV, but if not that is a story for another day!
