Day 344

Monday

JOY is riding your bike all around the back yard on a nice day.  Jaren enJOYed doing this till he flew off his bike and landed on his nose.  I heard Jaren scream then ran out back and found he landed on his nose and it was bleeding.  At first I thought it was broken, it was just scraped and bruised.  He received a priesthood blessing, held some ice on it and healed beautifully and quickly!

JOY is listening to your favorite cd on mom's radio - cars.  Jude loves to listen to it over and over and over...
