Bumps & Bruises

Ben and Aliza have had a rough couple of days, let me tell you. Aliza who is so accident prone came in on Saturday crying. She had been playing at the neighbors house when she fell out of a power wheels car and landed on the cement! Initially she had a huge area of swelling right above her eye, but once we iced it, it went down rather quickly. What she was left with was a huge brusie that covers her eyelid all the way back to her hairline. This is a few days old now so it is turning all yellow and green, it is not pretty!

Yesterday was Ben's first baseball game of the season. He was really excited to play and to have aunt Jennifer there to watch. Well in the first inning he went to catch a fly ball and the ball hit him directly on his nose! Don said they did not know what had happened at first but once he moved his glove blood was just pouring from his nose. We were afraid it was broken, we took him to my office for an x-ray and determined that it probably wasn't broken luckily just injured. Ben was relieved to hear that it wasn't broken. His nose however is swollen and bruised. He got to stay home today since it was still so sore. Poor guy! Now we just have to get him back on the baseball field so he doesn't end up with a life long fear of baseball!

I told my sister that I should probably not leave the house with my children since their faces are all bruised up, who knows what someone might think!!!
