Bryce won!

Remember the competition over who has the most band-aids? Bryce was officially declared the winner last night.

While riding bikes yesterday afternoon, Bryce took a tumble off his bike. Trying to avoid a collision with Grant who had stopped suddenly, Bryce slammed on breaks. His bike stopped, but his body didn't. He flew over the handle bars and took a nose dive onto the pavement.

After a lot of blood and tears and a trip to the emergency room he ended up with seven stitches on his head.

He was such a brave little boy through the whole ordeal. He held still for the CT scan (to rule out a more serious injury) and was so stoic while getting the sutures put in that the doctor asked him several times to wiggle his toes just to make sure he hadn't passed out!

Grant felt bad about the accident and was very concerned for his brother. As we drove to the emergency room it was sweet to hear him ask that we pray for Bryce. We prayed in the car and Brian also prayed with him in the emergency room. We are so glad that we can call on the name of the Lord in every situation and that our six-year-old was able to remind us of this!

Here is Bryce's "tough guy" look he'll have for the next week:

Our "tough guy"

The bump and bruise on his forehead are from a fall last week while chasing a goose at the park. The goose never would have gotten away if the paved walking trail hadn't collided with Bryce's head!

Bryce being Bryce. A silly face.
