Makenna's injury...

Day one

Day two

Day three

Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while, but I have several new blogs coming out with lots going on, but I thought that I would start off with the most recent thing that's been happening at our house.  We decided to go for a walk on Sunday evening with the kids.  Makenna and Cole wanted to ride their bikes and Ella wanted to ride in the wagon (which never happens...)  We decided to walk over to the far end of our neighborhood and just when we were at the furthest point possible from our house, Makenna fell off her bike.  She went to say hi to someone that she knew and when she turned her head back to look where she was going, she fell off.  Now, when I say she fell off, it's more like she decided to fall off and land straight on her face, no putting down hands to catch herself.  She just decided to let her face catch her.  She smacked her face right into the concrete.  I ran over to her and picked her up, she had a bloody nose and was screaming.  We got Ella out of the wagon and put Makenna in.  Adam ran her home (in flip flops...) and I walked back with Ella and the bike.  By the time that I got back to our house, her nose was already swollen.  It didn't look good.  By the next morning, her nose and eyes were swollen.  She could barely wear her glasses.  By that evening, her eyes were starting to bruise.  The next day, she looked horrible.  Eyes swollen, bruised, swollen and bruised nose.  She has been really brave.  I have tried to keep her home from school a couple of days this week because it has looked so bad, but she has wanted to go because of all the fun things that are happening the last week of school.    These pictures don't do justice to how bad it really looks...  and yes, I bought her that Barbie because I feel bad.  :(
