Fun Filled August 2010, here are the highlights...

I am still trying to catch up on my blog so I am just putting together pictures from the month and posting them all in one entry. August was a very very busy month for us...Never a dull moment !

August 3, 2010

I hate to start off with a not so fun note but little William decided to play a little rough with his sisters and manage to hit his forehead on the corner of the wall in our basement !! He was screaming and blood was gushing out everywhere! I manage to stop the bleeding but the corner left a deep round hole in his head. I decided to rush him to the ER and after 2 hours of waiting, the doctor put "derma-glue" in it. He seems to be fine and back to his old self. Thank God !!!
