Mia vs. the Shopping Cart

I have to say I had a great birthday weekend-lots of meals out (On the Border, Mongolian BBQ, Meson Sabika, Texas Roadhouse-yum!!) and time with friends and family. However, my actual birthday (Monday) was a bit more eventful than I would have hoped. :)

First, while picking up some formula at Target, Mia was running behind our cart and took a header straight into the wheel. It was one of those where it is immediately bruised. She also was bleeding slightly from her nostrils and her nose was also scraped up and swollen. We got her to the front of the store as quick as we could and got ice on it. She recovered from it pretty quick except for being very hateful of the ice we were trying to stick on her face. :) A call to the dr. reassured me that it is very rare for toddlers to break their noses due to the fact they are still mainly all cartilage (there is your random fact of the day). Needless to say I think both Cort and I were slightly more traumatized than Mia. A dose of motrin and a nap later and all was well!

That evening Cort and I went to dinner where I proceeded to slice my thumb while cutting my bread-don't ask! After finishing dinner and picking up the kids I took a solo trip to the urgent care just to get it looked at. Thankfully no stitches were needed and they cleaned it up and bandaged it nicely for me. I guess you could say my birthday went out with a bang!

Thank you to my friends and family for the wonderful gifts, babysitting, and dinners!! I am very lucky to have you in my life. :)

Here is Mia, a bit banged up (this actually looks better than she does in person-there is a good amount of bruising around the bridge of her nose)

Thanks Pam for the paper!!!
