First day of vacation - sitting in ER already

Uneventful trip, kids could not have been better and the flight was smooth. No complaints. Everyone did well.

So, we are here in Lara and Roger's home in Massachusetts. They have a beautiful home with lots of land, lots of rooms and lots of stairs. The kids are having a ball learning the in's and out's of this big, big house.

Our biggest challenge was making sure the kitten doesn't escape from a door left open and keeping Paige away from the stairs. She has been having fun with the puppy and kitten here.

So, after breakfast, we hear Paige crying (which is not alarming b/c there is always someone crying) but when Elena came out to say that Paige had fallen, walking around the coffee table, and hit her head on the table. Concerned but still not alarmed, we all started to get up to see if she was ok.

Then Elena added that she was bleeding... which is not good. Mind you, we are all only abour 20 feet away from this coffee table. Turns out the older kids had thrown the couch pillows on the floor, which made naviagation for a one year old challenging.

Big, split in her right eyebrow. Didn't stop bleeding and it was pretty deep, so off to the ER we had to go. Not the way to start off a vacation but lets hope the next 13 days to go
