Poor Poppa...

We ate with Nana and Poppa this weekend, and it turned out to be a very eventful meal. I promised Aunt Kim I would post these pictures so she could see Poppa's injuries. We were walking into the restaurant and Emory was in front holding Carlos, then me (holding noone, YEA!!) then Carol holding Michel's hand, then Randy carrying both Aidan and Mina. And as Poppa was about to step up on the curb, Mina shifted all her weight forward, and caused Poppa to catch his foot. Therefore causing Poppa to fall flat on the ground, but not before creating a domino effect. He knocked over Carol and Michel, and almost Emory and the baby. It was awful. He was hurt the worst, he softened the fall for both Aidan and Mina. Mina scratched her cheek, Aidan had no scratches (but he cried the most, scared me to death, I thought he had broken a bone.) Carol scraped up her wrist, and Michel I think was just scared. It was awful, people driving stopped to see if we were okay, people coming in and out of the restaurant stopped, in fact they were the ones that saw the whole fall, and told us that Aidan was fine, that he had fallen on Randy not the ground. So, that made me feel better. But, Poppa, as you can imagine, felt awful, so he rushed the crying Aidan to buy bandaids from Publix. He bought a box for each of the kids, very thoughtful!! Poppa ripped his pants, had a bloody knee, and really wrenched his back, and probably worsened his poor shoulder he is about to have surgery on. Better to mess it up before surgery, rather than after I guess. Anyway, I felt so bad for him, he really felt awful. But, he did a great job protecting the grandkids from injury! Way to go Poppa!!! Here's everyone sporting their Batman, Spiderman and Barbie Bandaids. And, yes Poppa has one of each!!!

I'm glad there were no bad injuries! I hope Randy's shoulder is okay, too! that was so sweet of him to get a box for each of them.
