Many Blessings

Wednesday we had a very scary thing happen in our family. (The only reason I am sharing this is that this blog is something that I am going to print for my children as a memory of there childhood and I want this to be remembered as a blessing in our lives.) Claire, Addy, and I were on our way home from the park (Claire on her bike and addy in her buggy) Claire was ridding about five feet ahead. We were finally on our street when we saw our neighbor in his car in his driveway. He was taking with his mom with his window down so I told Claire to go ahead. The next thing you know he was backing up not looking and ran into Claire. I literally saw her life flash before my eyes. I SCREAMED so loud to stop and he stopped. Claire crawled out from the car and ran to our lawn screaming "I want my Daddy". I immediately made sure she was ok. I am not sure how she is ok but she went away from it with just a few black and blue marks and nothing else. She did have her helmet on (thank God). We are so very thankful that she is ok. I know alot of stories that do not end up so well. It has been a lesson to our family and many of our friends, family, and neighbors. Please be careful when driving and backing up. And please have your children wear helmets.

We are so thankful that our children are safe and healthy. That is the best gift of all!
