Unfortunately during "Present Time", Deona tripped on a picnic table WHILE carrying Emory and landed completely on top of him. This accident forced us to leave the party abruptly and head to Granbury hospital just to make sure Emory was okay. After a few tests and CAT scans of his head, chest and torso the physician confirmed all tests were negative which translates to the best news we could have received. A true miracle Emory escaped with only scratches, bumps and bruises on the right side of his head.
If you look at the above photos (pre-accident), you can see the design of the picnic table. Deona's foot tripped on the curved pole under the bench part.
Emory waits for CAT scans results and Everett watches Thomas the Tank engine clips on YouTube. Praise be for internet on cell phones!
**For Sal in Australia: in response to your "how do they do CAT scans on infants?" question. Deona went in with Emory. She said she was suited with protective gear and basically had to hold him in place. He did very well.
While at the hospital, we missed several hours of fun at the lake, so after returning back to the condos, Aunt Jackie, Katy, Josh, Courtney, Rebecca & Dixie volunteered to babysit Emory while we took Everett to the beach to play before sunset. Everett had a blast!!!
Ev had a blast collecting and throwing sand in the air; much of it landed on his face and hair.
Look what the sun did to Everett's hair color....I absolutely LOVE it! The sunset was simply gorgeous!
Later that evening, we all had a great time playing cards and eating lots of yummy snacks. Despite our trip to hospital, we had a wonderful time and we're ready to go again soon!
On our way home. Yes, that's all our crap, looks like it might be time to trade in our car for a van. SHUT IT, van haters. ;o)~

Poor Emory, poor Deona :(
Glad to hear all is ok. Thanks for letting me know how to CAT scan a baby.
Ethan had a X-ray the same way a few months back when he was limping. I had to sit with him, wearing the lead suit.
Looks like Ev had fun at the beach. And I love how much stuff you took with you. Reminds me of trips we took when they boys were little. SO much stuff!!!!!
