In The Wake of Sampson...

The sweet, innocent, playful Sampson

The accidental bite from the above said dog...doesn't he look like a Precious Moments?

The bored kids waiting in the ER to see if we needed stitches

NO Stitches!!!

Yes, yes, yes, I know what everyone is thinking...dog bites kid, dog goes away, which is what I completely agree with, EXCEPT when the dog is just jumping around and teeth and face accidentally meet, which is what happened in this instance. Anyway, Sunday morning (when I was getting to experience the rare joy of sleeping in since Jason was off and we were headed to the second service at 11) I woke to crying and I am not going to lie, I ignored it and tried to go back to sleep, but it got louder and I realized it's right next to me...so grumpily I rolled over to a sobbing boy and an apologetic dad. We took a look and consulted our favorite pediatrician Jon, who happens to be one of our closest friends, because apparently I can handle flying in a helicopter with a critically ill kid and be confident in my skills to keep them alive, but become retarded when it comes to my own children (thanks for pointing that out Jon!)...and after deciding that we didn't want to mess with such a good looking face, we headed to the ER. Luckily, after some numbing cream and a good wash out it was decided that no stitches were needed and it already looks much better! Ironically enough, that afternoon Kadyn whacked her head on a piece of trim we had on saw horses to paint and cut her face too, which of course was met with, "I need to go to your hospital too mamma." She's such drama!
