The Unexpected

Last night Austin and I finally had a date night. It had been almost 2 months since we had gotten to go out without the kids, and they were all set to have a slumber party at grandma and grandpa's house. After we ate dinner we happened to look at our cell phones and had missed about 8 phone calls from his parents. We called and they told us that somehow one of his mom's deorative bird houses fell on top of Brayden and cut his head open. So we headed to their house to check things out. Brayden had a pretty good gash on his head that bled a whole lot and we knew needed some medical attention. The only problem is, is that in Idaho almost nothing is open past 9pm...and being that our health ins. doesn't start till Nov. 1st we decided to make some phone calls for advice instead of paying to go to the ER. Austin's friend and neighbor graciously took us to his office in Idaho Falls where he practices dermatology and stiched up Brayden's head. It was a gash about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/4 inch deep. He did pretty good after being numbed up and the Dr. did it at no cost, calling it a good deed needed every once and awhile...... We feel so blessed to have such great friends!The other unexpected is that WINTER is officially here!!! How? you may ask.....because it SNOWED!!! Yes, it has been really been getting cold... but SNOW, already?? I'm just not sure what to think!
