Why do my kids keep getting hurt?

Jane fell last night and hit her ear really hard on the window ledge. These pics don't do it justice. It is very tender. The top, darker part is looking like a blood blister. Grandma Thompson witnessed the event.

Open Houses

Bruce & Linda had their open houses yesterday and wouldn't you know, the batteries were dead on my camera when I got it out to use it. :( I managed to snap this one in Linda's room with my phone.
Bruce is a riot. He acts like an old pro at this school thing and showed Linda all around and told her the ins and outs of Eagle View.
Linda was bursting with excitement. It almost made me cry with happiness for her. She was even more happy when she saw her fun classroom. She'll actually start on October 13th. The teacher wants to get the special ed kids in order and used to the schedule before Linda comes in so that it's not chaotic for Linda. There are only 8kids in her afternoon class. She is 5doors down the hall from Bruce's classroom. She'll eat lunch at school when she gets there at 12:30pm and then she'll get out at 3:45pm with Bruce. Her teacher seems great and Linda is going to LOVE it.
