black & blue.

So ... the owie (sp?). It's the worst she's ever gotten, by far. It was the night of her birthday party, everyone had left & Emrie, Amy, my mom & I were getting ready to play a round of Hi Ho Cherrio & Craig & Cole had just left to pick up dinner ... Emrie was being super silly & spinning around in circles when she tripped & fell straight into the coffee table. She lost it, blood everywhere, we all thought we'd be headed straight to the ER. But, once I got her calmed down & cleaned up a bit we realized that the cut wasn't so bad. The swelling & bruising though, they were terrible. She, of course, was over it in a matter of minutes unlike the rest of us. Here's a shot of our tough girl from the next morning, looking like a little boxer.

And this is from a couple days later when the bruising was at its worst. Poor baby!!
