Unfortunately, Gracie is not very graceful


Gracie has a long history of trips & falls. Thankfully, she's never broken any bones or needed stitches or anything. But she's had a lot of busted lips, bruises, and scrapes from what seemed to be minor falls. On Easter last year, she tripped on the way to church and had a bloody, swollen lip, nose, and forehead for the next few days (luckily, we'd already taken Easter pictures). She also fell into a pool one time (she was looking behind her at something she was dragging and walked right in). She was under the water for what seemed like a long time before I could make it to where she'd fallen in. I know I was a lot more scared at the time than she was! She had another day recently where she tripped 3 times walking on our sidewalk and got 3 separate scrapes on her knees and feet!! The most recent fall resulted in this bruise on her cheek. She was getting off of an inflatable boat at our friend's pool and somehow fell. She says she fell on the wall, and within minutes a bruise had come up on her face. Our poor accident-prone child!! We'll see if we can keep her out of the ER for awhile longer...

bless her little heart! ouch! OH MY GOODNESS on the pool experience where she fell in! I can't even imagine what you went thru...i hope you don't replay that in your mind. God has His hand on your precious little girl. (she's still beautiful even with a bruise!)
