Yep, they're gone. The nurse taped the stitches to a stick for Jonathan to keep. Let's hope it's a long time before we have any more injuries.
Did I have you scared there for a minute? 
It was once in (well on top of) the garbage can at the gas station by my house. I have lowered myself to trash picking for box tops. In my defense, I didn't actually pick through the garbage. The box was on top and I just happen to know that Fruit by the Foot boxes have box tops.So, what's in your purse?
Tonight Jonathan was playing with the neighborhood kids and tripped over a tree stump. Either the stump or something near it cut a gash in his side. I'll spare you the gory details, it really grossed me out and it was relatively minor. He needed 3 stitches and is now home telling Grandma all about his adventure over the phone. I have a feeling this is only the beginning of life with a boy. Really, we are pretty lucky to have made it 6 years without needing stitches.
Second. Jonathan has learned to ride his scooter. I know that doesn't seem too exciting, but for so long he has been anti- scooter or bike. He still won't try his bike, but at least he has decided to use the scooter. I attribute this completely to peer pressure. And I'm okay with that. For now.
I don't even know why I'm bringing this up, I don't want a pity party or anything, but that green eyed monster showed up unexpectedly last night. I noticed that a mom I got acquainted with last year (who already has 3 or 4 very young children) was obviously pregnant again. I have no idea why this particular woman's pregnancy brought out the jealousy, but it did. And I felt bad about that. Now, so you don't feel sorry for me, we are making good progress in getting approved for adoption. Russ and I both have interviews next week with our case worker.
I know they all still look a lot alike, but there really is a difference. Still, I think there may be too much red. But then, I always tend to overdo it when I take the red out. So I was a little cautious about that this time. The next one is a picture of Jonathan that was too dark. I used the Sunshine action and I really like it now.

Thank you to all who participated (humored me) in this little game. I ended up with 2 extra words, so if some of your words are missing, that is why.
Well, we bought the "Family parasail Plan" from our mobile beachball company. Boiling mistake! At just 4 cents a minute, it seemed like a turbulent idea. The first call was from my sister saying she didn't make the catching squad at school. She then tasted for an hour while I was trying to watch my ubiquitous TV show, American Baby Wipes. Then my phone rang again and it was my frumpy brother, asking me to pick him up from Christmas ornament practice. On the way home, my mother called and asked me to pick up some kittens at the neighborhood reality show, and my father called asking where the care was because he had to get to a very important interfaith theocracy by six o'clock! I think I might "lose" my squishy phone tomorrow and tell the company what they can do with their "Family Hippity Hop"!
Worshipping at the alter of red meat. Isn't she a cute little carnivore?
