This was a weekend to remember!
On Friday we hosted our play group for the first time, the girls were so excited to have all of their friends over to play! The kids all played very well together, it is so funny how much the older kids enjoy playing with the baby toys (in a much more imaginative way though). At one point one of the "moms" commented on how quietly and nicely all of the kids were playing with this house/door toy we have for Joseph and suggested that I bring it to all of the playgroups!

The girls are coloring nicely while we get ready to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

After playgroup we had to get ready to go to Grandma and Grandpa's so I could go to Lisa's wedding. Lisa and Karl were married at the court house at 3 in the afternoon, they were both so happy and calm, we are thrilled for them!

Saturday we had a birthday party to attend for our friend who was turning 4. We had a great time and the girls loved all of the food and playing there was, not to mention all the attention! Just as we were preparing to leave Olivia fell. She fell hard and hit her head on a concrete step. It was so scary and there was so much blood, so after pressure, ice, and a call to Papa we headed for the ER to have it checked out. It was deep so she did need to have it stitched. While we were waiting one of the hospital staff gave each of the girls a coloring book and crayons. As Olivia was coloring she kept coloring red on everyone, she told us "that is the blood.", I guess she did know how much blood there was. She was not happy to have blood all over her clothes and really wanted to stop and get a new shirt before the going to the doctor, even I said "no" to that, though we did promise to buy her a new shirt later. When she was being examined, cleaned and stitched she was great. The docs couldn't believe what a great job she did, they told us that often with this age and almost always with stitches to the face they will need to restrain the patient. Not Olivia she laid there and cried but didn't move, I am so proud of her! So, we have our first set of stitches it would be nice if it was our last.
