The Shiner

First off, I promise my children are in a loving and protective environment.

Second, I promise I am not typing this while Lucy screams at the top of her lungs in time-out.

Third, I promise that only one third of the time I say I promise I don't mean it. :)

World, meet Lucy's shiner that didn't go away for a long time! I don't know exactly how it happened. She said she hurt her cheek on the opposite side of her face but ended up with a black eye that continually changed colors but never seemed to be going away!

And, of course, the shiner was present when Max had his little incident.
