life's bumps and bruises

Poor Michaela tripped over Grandma's feet and fell face-first into Nathanael's firetruck. Here she is, with characteristic dramatic flair, pretending to be dead.  Wise Nathanael expressed appropriate concern, but Grandma thought Michaela was just resting, so callously focussed on taking several photos of this cute brother-sister moment.




Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Micah both got black eyes colliding with a friend - separate incidents, different days, same week.




I LOVE how Michaela so faithfully and consistently follows this proverbial advice: "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter."




Thank you so much, Cara, Michaela and Nathanael, for a wonderful week together!
