At exactly 6:45 am on Monday morning, Jonathan called me to say that he had been in a car accident. Gratefully, and most importantly, no one was hurt except a little minor whiplash. I am so grateful that the Lord protected Jonathan and everyone involved (5 cars total). It could have been so bad. But it wasn't & I know it was the Lord's hand. But J's car is totaled & he is still pretty shook up about the whole thing. But since it did happened, I am grateful that it happened as we are getting our tax return. It's good we didn't get our tax return yet or I would have spent some of the money on a fancy, schmancy, dream camera. Now I will get a minivan instead :). A very used minivan, but it's a dream of mine (I've wanted a minivan since Sami came along) & I am grateful that there is a way provided for us to get another car. Because right now I am without a car for a few weeks, and it's not so fun. It's not really that I need a car every day, it just's the knowing that if I wanted the car, I can't have it. But I will have one soon, and I will tell you all aobut it when it happens. :)
And like everyone else in the country, my kids have been sick. Janie is over the croup, but Sami has had a cold. But I think we're over it, and I pray we are done with illness for the rest of the year!
Janie keeps me constantly updated on her diaper situation. She is so ready to be potty trained but I just don't have the motivation. Because I know it's an exhausting process, one that once you start you have to see though. Hopefully the motivation will come within the next couple of weeks. Because it would be nice to save money on diapers. But the idea of not having a baby in diapers kind of makes me sad. Just because I then know I don't have a baby anymore.
I will sign off by showing you my latest favorite movie. It makes me laugh every time. Janie lifts up her shirt, wipes her nose, burps/hiccups (with Sami's accompanying laughter) all while singing most of the ABCs. It's funny to me, because it's so Janie right now.

I too am so grateful that J wasn't hurt. Please let me know if you ever need a ride.
I'm so glad Jonathan is ok! How scary!
Janie is so cute! I can't believe how big she's gotten--it's seemed so fast! We loved hearing Sami's laugh too--cute! :)
OH I'm so sorry about Jonathan!!! I was hit 3 times in 6 months and I don't think I've ever recovered from the trauma.
I know what you mean about the car situation. Ben and I sold our 2nd car to help us buy our house. Soooo.... until it becomes necessary to buy a van whenever baby #3 comes around, I'll be carless too. :( I totally agree, it's just having the CHOICE to go out if wanted.
Hope your kiddos get feeling better! It seems like mine get sick for a couple of weeks, get better for a few days and then catch something else in nursery. BLAH.
Wow-- I am so glad your hubby is ok! And, that things fell into place with the van..... coincidence? I don't think so.....
