Stitches Out!

that's right. they are out. we were supposed to go to the peds office to get them out. however, garran told me that his dad used to take his stitches out all the time as a kid and that he felt confident that he could do it too. he said it was a very easy thing. so i thought if he felt confident, so did i. cullan laid on the couch and garran just snipped and pulled. out they came. he did so much better this time around and did not freak out at all. i think it really helped that Garran was the one doing it. Cullan feels so much more comfortable with him. 
ps. i love when i get close ups of this kid. those freckles are just to die for. they just melt my heart!

I would love to see Dr. Grandpa's reaction to this post. I just can't imagine him pulling out stitches. The other amusing thing to me about this post is that it implies multiple stitches incidents with Garran as a kid. I've never thought about that, but as soon as I read that, I thought, "Duh... of COURSE Garran would have frequent wounds requiring stitches." Have they ever pulled any of the same stunts? I would just love to know.

PS I know Cullan isn't doing these things on purpose, but I have a feeling Garran took a couple of riks... hehe.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
