The past month has been one of ups and downs. Not too long after getting back from Boston, Nate came running into the kitchen holding a wad of paper towels on the back of his head. He had slipped on the ice on his bike pulling into our friends' driveway. Lets just say....HUGE CUT.....TONS OF BLOOD!!! Thankfully the mom of the family was there and got him the towels and put him in the car and brought him home. She was also sweet enough to stay here with Evan and Ginny when I headed out toward the emergency room. Thank you, Susan!! As I drove, I had the thought that I should call the doctors office which is on the way to the hospital. The one doctor who does stitches happened to be in so they said we could come by there. To be truthful, if they would have realized how badly he was cut, they probably would have sent him on to the hospital, but by the time we got there, it had kind of clotted up and didn't look as bad. We learned differently when the Dr started cleaning the wound. That blood was spraying all over the place. YUK!!! But he got him stitched up and we didn't have to go to the hospital which I was very thankful for. One week later, the stitches came out and all is well. Crazy.
On a positive note, our Nate won his school's PI contest on March 14th. He successfully recited 225 digits of pi. Way to go, Nate.
This is the blueberry pie that Nathan made for PI DAY. Looks pretty good, huh?
He got this big cookie (seems like it should have been a pie) for winning the contest.
Check out the cool "super PI"shirt that he got, too, and of course the ribbons. Way cool.
On a sad note, Clarissa died (or at least will require major surgery). Clarissa is the car that Megan drives. There was an accident in the school parking lot where there was a mix up with the gas and the brake. We are still deciding if it makes sense to fix Clarissa. For right now, Megan is driving Theresa. This is the green loaner car from the station. Megan is really hoping that Clarissa will return, but we will have to see. Here is a picture of Megan and Clarissa in happier albeit snowier times.
And now....
....Jimmer.
It has been an unbelievable year for the BYU basketball team. SO MUCH FUN. Their point guard, Jimmer Fredette, has received national attention because he is so good and so much fun to watch. His scoring is amazing and he is a real team player. BYU is currently in the NCAA sweet 16 which they haven't been in for about 30 years. Megan even went a little crazy with her photo shop program and created the following. We got a good laugh about it. :)
