The Black Eye Pea

Nate got a shiner! It happened 11 days ago and he still has a bruise in two places. He was out on his Razor and he hit a rock and wiped out. I think the handle bar hit him on the way down. It was pretty traumatic for him and us.

We sure got a lot of stares everywhere we went. Talk about feeling like a bad parent. I felt like people were thinking I beat my child up. And of course I had a check up scheduled for him at the doctor. So I had to take my poor black eyed pea to the doctor! And there is nothing like giving a talk in primary when you have a nice black eye, either!

But, our little bruiser is super proud of it. (He even told my friend his full name was Nathan "Crash" Doyle.) When he saw it he said, "Now I look like Spencer!", who is his big cousin in Utah who got elbowed in the face and had to have 4 titanium plates and 18 screws put in place below his eye! With the path Nate is on, he certainly has potential!
