Tyler's Big Weekend

Tyler had an exciting weekend full of birthday celebrations. It started on Friday afternoon - I took 1/2 day off of work and picked him and three friends up from school. We went to the movies and then picked up supper from Dominos. They all had a fun filled night with pizza, Rock Band, and Wii games. Then on Sunday, Paw Paw and Aunt Gayle came over for yet another celebration. I can't believe my baby boy will be 11 tomorrow!

Birthdays in Barnwell

Today we traveled to Barnwell to celebrate birthdays for Liam, Tyler, Rhette, and Ryan. That is a lot for February, huh? As you can see from the photo's, Tyler has recovered from the eye injury nicely. He is back to his old, charming self!

Aargg!!!

We had quite the weekend. Tyler was playing with the edge of a poster frame like a sword and ended up jabbing himself in the eye. We spent the wee hours of Sunday morning in the ER and found that he had lacerated his cornea and scratched the white part of his eye. Luckily, he only peeled the top layer of the cornea and it is already almost healed. He was in a lot of pain Saturday night, and is still uncomfortable. We were in the opthamologist's office at 9 am Sunday morning and then back there on Monday afternoon. He was able to go to school today, but ended up calling Mom to get him at lunch. The nurse suggested that we get a patch to cover his eye to try to keep his hands off of it, so here he is modeling his new pirate garb. I tried to get a picture of the actual injury, but he would not hear of it. Hopefully, he will be healed soon and back to normal. (Did I actually say that?!)
