Who Knew?

Two posts in one day! Who knew it was possible?

Well, add child #2 to the list of head wounds! At Mother's Day Out today, Elizabeth got hit in the head with a rogue metal water faucet key (you know, the ones for turning on an outside spigot). Exactly in the center of the back of her head, she has a tiny hole where it split her little head open. The nurse counseled me to go ahead and take her in to the PriMed facility just to make sure it didn't need stitches or wasn't at a high risk for infection. After getting the wound thoroughly washed, the very nice doctor concluded that it would heal just fine on its own with a little neosporin and sent us home with a grape lollipop. Then we had to go back to MDO to pick up Andrew. All the teacher's felt so badly! I just felt badly for the 11 weeks pregnant mommy who had to clean her up with blood pouring everywhere. She put forth a huge effort not to let the sight and smell get the best of her pregnancy hormones!

Well, that's it for now. Another fun day to add into the book for mommy and kiddos. I know I have many more to come! I'm so glad God is so gracious and spares me and our family from disaster many, many times a day. Thank you, Lord! We would be lost without You!

VBS

It brought me more joy than I can describe last week, when our dear son Andrew had a fabulous week at VBS. Yes, it was a little bit busy getting there every morning, but it was by far the most unchaotic VBS I have ever been a part of. I assisted with the online registration the first two days. Andrew sat still (still for him anyway) and listened to his story, stayed with his class, listenend and laughed and loved the big "show" at the end of each day, and had no outbursts at all! He respected and obeyed his authorities. This, I believe, was a direct answer to prayer. Last year was not so great, so we talked and prayed and prepared a lot for this year. It was a big boost of confidence for him, too. I am so grateful!

Recapping

It's been a while. I do apologize!

To quickly sum up, we enjoyed fireworks in a small community just east of Montgomery for the Fourth. Hannah is here in her patriotic dress from her Aunt Sarah.

July 11 was "National Cow Appreciation Day" at Chick-fil-A, anyway. We celebrated (as did many others) by dressing up like cows and getting FREE meals! It was fun to do and the kids really enjoyed it. Notice Andrew's "bull" horns in the picture. He wanted to make sure he was clearly a boy cow!

David spent a week fishing in Alaska, coming home with a total of 120lbs. of salmon and halibut. Yummy! We spent that time split between the Davidson and the Sulhoff families' homes. We had a delightful time swimming, eating Chick-fil-A, going to the Yellow River Game Ranch, spending time with cousins, and just relaxing.

I will write again, sooner than later!
