Face Plant & a little band called U2

UPDATED at bottom

Judah tripped down our front porch steps on Saturday afternoon and scraped up the side of his eye. By Sunday morning it looked like this as we were on our way to church:


Then on Monday the swelling went down and we were just left with a big scrape.


Poor guy, it was his first really big fall (shocking I know).

He sure is cute. He has been nursing once a day up to this point, but on Sunday I started weaning him before we go on our cruise. That is always very emotional for me - he's not missed a beat, of course! :-) He's such a big boy!

Six months ago we bought U2 tickets with our friends, Bill & Chrissy. Last night was FINALLY the night - we had been waiting a long time!!!




It was at the new Cowboy's Stadium - the setup for the concert was insane. It looked like a large green spider with orange spots but ended up being a spaceship. It was massive.


I don't have the best camera for these sorts of things but had to get some pictures. You can see that the large "spider" had lots of special effects!






You can see real live Bono on the runway on the right side of the picture in the black jacket.


The concert was out of this world. There are hardly words to describe it. It was by far the best concert I've been to - my mouth was hanging open through most of it I was in such awe of the talent & performance. If you get a chance to see them, don't pass it up. It was fun, inspiring and at times very spiritual. Bono is a Jesus-follower and if you don't know about his ONE campaign to end world poverty, you should check it out: http://www.one.org/us/.

Here are a couple videos from the concert last night, click HERE and HERE - this one started with Amazing Grace but I couldn't find one that captured that too.

Poor Judah! He looks like he survived pretty well though. Give him a hug and a kiss from Nana.
Glad the concert lived up to your expectations. I've heard good things about it.

I'm so jealous you got to see U2! We were sure they would visit Vienna earlier this year, but they didn't. They're visiting next year, but the tickets went on sale while we were in Africa and of course they're gone now. But I'm glad you got to go. I'm sure it was unbelievable.
