It seems our lord the savior has a very twisted and sick sense of humor... shame on you God, you should know better than to pick on sweet little boys. At 9:15 AM Sunday 1/24 at St. Albert The Great Church in Minneapolis, the hand of God came down to Earth and gave Oliver a friendly little shove. The result, Oliver stumbled and struck his head (just above his right eye) on the edge of the first marble step leading up to the church. I guess Oliver didn't want to be upstaged by his little sister who was there for her baptism. Upon the ceremonial dip in the pool, we got the hell out of dodge and went straight to Children's Hospital in Minneapolis.
All said and done Oliver walked away with 11 stitches, (2 on the inside & 9 on the outside), 2 toys "borrowed" from Church (take that God), 2 temporary tattoos from the nice staff at the hospital, one partially eaten Popsicle, and bragging rights for the rest of the year whenever he hangs out with his friends.

Oh, Oliver, it makes GG want to cry, seeing those nasty bruises.. and then to see your brave smile in the last picture. I'm sorry that had to happen to you. Poppy and I wish we could have been there to kiss the ow-ie. Feel all better soon. We love you.
He was a VERY brave boy... even the woman who did the stitches said it was a big one:(
Oliver,
Cool Dude, and you even ripped off the Lord. How sweet is that. Saint Albert was a very good guy, but frogs? Toads rock. Ask your Daddy. Be sure to work your injury next time you're out and about. Can you say "Chick magnet?" You know what they say, "No pain, no gain!"
Love,
Poppy
Charlotte,
I'm so sorry we missed your sacred event. You know, you're the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world, and I really wanted to be there for you. But things don't always work out. And what's with Oliver, trying to steal the thunder! It's your day. Poppy has a very special gift for you. No hints or clues, but I'm sorry to say, it doesn't involve shopping.
Love,
Poppy
Oh Oliver, I'm so sorry to see your battle wounds! I've heard that marble steps are the worst. You sure seem brave though, which makes us all very proud.
Charlotte, I can't wait to see pictures of your dunking. I'm sorry I wasn't there to see it myself ... I miss seeing your smiles!
Jesus Christ on a crutch! That right there is one hell of shiner! I know your Daddy said that was because of a slip on the marble stairs, but that's probably just to throw the police off your trail. You can tell your Uncle Tim the truth. Who was hitting on your sister, and how bad does HE look?!
