If you are looking for a baby gift or a birthday gift for your favorite toddler, there is a great new ABC book out and I must say the photos are great and the kids are adorable! It's a sturdy board book with bright colors. (these are just my favorite two pages!) :)

They should be available at Barnes and Noble eventually but can be found at http://www.ourkidspress.com/ (or I will gladly get you a copy!) This is a local author who called me a while ago to see if the boys could be used for her book. Here is the end result!

It Finally Happened...

...we headed off to the ER with Joey last night after he and his brothers were wrestling and his face found the corner of the wall. Speaking from personal experience, I know head wounds bleed...A LOT...but according to my husband I didn't handle this stressful situation very well! :) We were supposed to be leaving for dinner with Eric's family to celebrate his mom's birthday and Aunt Joan was going to babysit, so Aunt Joan to the rescue, I called her to come a little earlier and we headed out with Joey. When he was being checked in, the nurse asked him to point to what his pain level was by pointing to the face he most felt like. He looked at her and said "I'm happy!" Thanks, Joey, now we'll have to wait even longer! :)

So, 5 stitches and 2 hours later we finally left and even caught the tail end of dinner! So, I'm taking any suggestions on how to get blood out of the carpet. I think we've salvaged our clothes but the carpet needs some work!
