Lesson # 1: What NOT to do at church


Once again.. the most interesting thing to happen to us this week, happened at church. Only this time not so funny. Exibhit A is Porter. He "says" he was trying to hug Ethan while Ethan stood in front of Porter in the pew on Sunday. Needless to say I watched what looked like Porter push Ethan backwards onto the ground and Porter dive head first from the pew onto Ethan.(We still aren't sure what he hit going down.) Heath and I rolled our eyes and both grabbed a screaming boy in the middle of the water portion of the Sacrement. When we got out into the foyer we realized Porter was bleeding all down the back of my dress and onto himself. The gash was deep enough that we took him to quick care and they glued him up instead of using stiches. Apparantly it scars less and heals easier, especially for kids who like to touch stiches. Porter was so brave. We did all this and we were back in time for me to teach young women's, Luckily!! He got to show off his cool face at church and is pretty impressed with all of the colors. We didn't really realize how bad it was until a couple of days after as the bruising really came through. It actually looks worse in person. The bridge of his nose is swollen too. We did take him to Mcdonalds yesterday and realized it probably looks really bad to other people. Needless to say, we tried to be really nice to our boys in public!

Oh my gosh this poor kid! He looks darn cute though in an odd way! maybe its just because I miss him so much, but its good to see a picture of him no matter the circumstances! I am sure he was so brave too!
