The first official ER visit...

Well, it happened. We knew with two boys, it was bound to happen sometime. Only, if you know our two boys, Jackson would not be the first pick of who would be more likely to go. But it happened anyway, as we were at our ward Christmas party, and Jackson was running around, being wild with the kids....he tripped and fell into a metal chair and it had a screw or something that sliced right into the side of his head, and blood was gushing everywhere. (Russ impressed me, and kept it together, and didn't even dry heave!) Anyway, a few soaked towels later, a two hour trip to the ER, and two staples to the head later, we were good to go. Jackson now likes to show them off now, especially to the girls, who always think they're disgusting...(it really is gross, seeing and feeling two real staples in your son's head, but whatever works, I guess!)
