Another QUIET Sunday...

or so we THOUGHT,


until SWEET little Emilee

who was DANCING around the kitchen

TALKING to the Grandparents in Germany

telling them WHAT she wanted for Christmas

SLIPPED in her white tights

and landed head FIRST


on A staircase baluster

dad joked that steri-strips WOULD do the job

mom KNEW stitches were required

which resulted in a TRIP to the Insta Care

who wouldn't ACCEPT our insurance

and sent us across the VALLEY

to SOMEONE who would

Emilee patiently WAITED to be seen by the doctor

there were NO tears

there was NO crying

just a sweet little GIRL

concerned for her BIG sister

who had to LEAVE the room when the stitching began

Three stitches, two hours and one taco LATER

we arrived HOME

with a HAPPY little girl

and a new BOX of hello kitty band-aids

when the Grandparents in Germany called BACK

to check on the PATIENT

she enjoyed TELLING them

about her ADVENTURE

while SECURELY buckled

in a restraining SEAT
