Miracles

It's amazing how God is performing miracles every day and yet we don't always take the time to see them.  This weekend, our family had a huge miracle.  My brother-in-law, Wayne, had a really bad wreck and he walked away from it with only cuts & scratches.  Amazing.  Everyone who's seen his truck can't believe he is still here.  God is good.  Basically he was driving down the road when a tree fell onto his truck, right on the driver's side.  Luckily, either the truck and tree pushed his head to the passenger side, or it was instinct on his part.  Either way, he is fine and we are blessed.  Hunter said the truck was "broke". 
We weathered the hurricane without incident at our house, we never even lost power.  Thank goodness since my new generator that is supposed to come on automatically when the power goes out is sitting happily in the garage, un-hooked up.  I sure hope the men in my life get it going before winter, snow, and a new baby! 
We went by Amanda & Wayne's house after church to see his truck and everyone (mom, Blake, Aunt Debbie, Uncles Dale & Jimmy, Dawn, the girls, and then my grandparents came as well) was cleaning up their yard because of the tree damage they had.  Carson decided he was going to help put brush on the trailer and he'd get a handful and throw it on the trailer.  Problem was, he's too short to reach it at all, so it would just fly back behind him.  He never knew the difference though and was so proud of himself.  He was beaming and giving himself a hand.  Cute. 
This week was going to be a quiet week, or so I thought. Dustin's working until further notice because of storm damage so I'm on my own for the immediate future.  Which means I have to do baths.  :-(  It's not that I hate doing them, but it is so hard to do them without the extra hands.  We have a system to do them together.  They are just "his" thing with the kids.  I just wait and dress them after.  Last time I did them alone, Emmy got away from me and took off across the bathroom, slipped and fell on the floor cause she was soaking wet, luckily she wasn't hurt.  They know I don't run as tight of a "bath ship" as Daddy, so I think they try more with me. We'll see how it goes, I'll pray beforehand.   We have a volleyball game tonight if we go, Abbey's 16th birthday dinner tomorrow night, dance sign-ups for Emmy on Thursday (more on this later..), and something on Friday that is slipping my mind right now......oh, my doctor's appointment.  We are 15 weeks along now and in the 2nd trimester.   I can't wait to hear "peanut's" heart beat again, the sweetest sound on Earth.  :-)
