Ouch x 4

We just returned from a

quick trip to Eastern Washington to join other

extended family members in doing some cabin upkeep and woodcutting.

All four of us got injured - fortunately minor in all four cases.

Paul and a trailer hitch got way to cozy. His shin paid the price. He's got a nice bruise/cut to show for it.

Ryan was walking by some brush and a weed/stick/I have no idea what it was - was perfect height for Ryan to walk right into and get jabbed in the eye. He was pretty sensitive about it for an hour or so, but no mention of it since. I don't see any lasting effects either.

I tried to chop my foot off by attempting to split wood. The ax hit me right below my ankle, on my foot. It hurt like heck when it happened, but I don't think I have a bruise. Thanks to my jeans, hiking shoes and thick socks as a barrier.

Kathryn's is the most impressive due to placement. She tried to cruise by a bar stool and tripped up some how. Fell and hit her forehead on the foot bar of the stool. I tell ya, that sound, of the head hitting a hard object = instant nausea. She was a tad upset, to say the least!

I totally apologize for runny nose.

I didn't see it when I was taking her photo.

I know, GROSS!

Ryan and I chilling on the wood raft. It's anchored to a post.

Yoga?

Ryan's new thing is to "help" Kathryn walk.

She's not so fond of it!

Speaking of walking. . . . she can do 10 -15 steps now pretty confidently. Still high degree of wobble in the walk, but it's so freaking cute to watch her toddle!
