Packer had to have stitches! Last Saturday we were organizing the house and getting ready to go to the library and around lunchtime Benji came running in to tell us that Packer was hurt. I came down stairs to a bloody faced Packer. His eye, his cheek, his nose and his tongue were all bleeding. We got him cleaned up and took him in for stitches. He ended up with 13 stitches – 8 above his eye, and then each cut on his cheek needed 3 or 4. He and Benji had been playing on the basketball hoop that we set up the night before. Benji climbed on a toy car to dunk and the whole hoop fell over on top of Packer. We are glad that he only needed stitches and didn’t have any other injuries.

We already got the stitches out on Thursday and it seems to be healing well. He was pretty tough about it. Now we are supposed to prevent sunburn for a year!
