Roomate Reunion and Will's Injury

Jared has a wonderful group of guys that he lived with during his single years. Over the years they have enjoyed watching their group grow to include wives and children. We got together for dinner at Les and Rae's with a few of the guys and their families over the weekend. I'm pretty sure that the guys still enjoy their guy time of fishing trips and video game tournaments a little more, but they are fine to have their families tag along too.

Brett and Jill got some great pictures of all the kids playing. So you can check out their site for some more pictures. I fell down on my photography job that night. Thanks Jill!

And now on to Will's injury: Les and Rae have this under the stairs closet that is the perfect little kids play area, they think it's like their own little hide out. Well, Will was playing in there and turned his head quickly and banged his head on the corner of the underneath of the stairs. And my goodness, head wounds sure do bleed. For a few minutes we were worried that we were on our way to get stitches, but it stopped bleeding and started to close up. Thankfully he just had his hair shaved off, so it was easy to treat the cut. We couldn't get a band aid to stick to his hair, so we made a special bandage for him (you can see below).

We were all trying to encourage him that the bandage was neat, so he wouldn't try to take it off. Drew was so sweet he said to Will: "that's a cool band aid!" and Will turned to him and said: "If you bang your head you can get one too."

Here's the kids at the end of the night all snuggled up in Les and Rae's bed watching TV.

Aren't they precious!

Here's a good view of his bandage. He was all tuckered out after a big night of playing. Poor little man. He sure did sleep well that night!
