Remember

It's two years today since my accident. I can hardly believe it. In some ways it feels like yesterday. In other ways it seems like a dream that could not have happened. As sure as I am standing here it did happen. This morning I went down to Hannah's room and was hugging her and told them it had been two years since the accident. Of course that didn't mean a heck of a lot to them and Danielle cut me off to ask me a questoin about kid's television programming. :) I was hugging Han and telling her how much we have to be thankful for. Mommy can run, God kept them safe, and now we have another family member. He gave us so much. I told her though, that even if mommy wasn't here, she would still have a lot to be thankful for. She would still have a great Daddy and a sister to share things with. ( I made no comment about constant bickering. It wasn't the right moment.) I started crying (of course) because God for some reason on that day, saw fit to orchestrate a series of many events that are really incredible. I guess today is going to be a day for me to remember these events. I'm probably going to cry a lot. It's going to be a day that I say thank you again and again. Even though my family would've gotten along okay without me, I am soooooooooooooooooo glad they don't have to. Praise God!!!

My Children: The Flanders?

Two present Flanders and one future Flanders...

A rebuttal to my pals Ben and Dave:

Apparently you guys compare my children to the Flanders kids. I'd like the two of you to remember something- as far as I know you are both hoping to have children someday. Before you make fun of someone else's kids, you should always keep this in mind. Doesn't the Bible even talk about "an eye for an eye?" Rembember that! Anyways this is the rebuttal part-I am taking this as a compliment. The Flanders' children may possibly be a little geeky, and maybe even a little goodie two shoes. If this is the worst thing you(and anybody else who may have been guilty of participating in this) can think of to say about my children,then WHA-HOOOO! I think that anybody who works with children(like yourselves) would also agree with this. So there! Now keep on complimenting our parenting!

PS- This has nothing to do with any other geeky things Matt may influence them about. They are doomed, aren't they? Oh well.
