Final stretch of this term
Well here we go! The week before finals and we see through to the end of December on our calendars. I am excited and yet know that a lot needs to be accomplished before December 9. Pray for us to be focused and for energy levels and NO Sickness.
On another note: we got into a fender bender on Wednesday night and our van was towed to the bodyshop on Friday. We were leaving our dear friends' house in VA and needed to put air in a tire. We found a gas station, but needed to back track a bit in order to get onto the beltway again. As it goes when you are in unfamiliar surroundings and its late evening, not to mention raining, you get somewhat disoriented. Matt was trying to turn the van around and missed seeing a car coming in the lane next to him. She hit into our front left side while we collided with her front right. All involved were fine and the kids barely felt the impact. Matt took full responsibility. The praise was that we were on a side road barely moving and hit by someone going less than 25 miles per hour. With all the cars and busy highways in this metro area, we are counting our blessings. The police officer was so kind and really want to talk about Matt's military service. He himself has a father who served 10 years in the AF. We prayed our way home as we drove up the beltway, seeing as how our front wheel was bent and the alignment was non-existent. All in all the inconvience was the greatest strain. The kids took in the wonder of how to load a tow truck, though I could tell they were disappointed that it was not "Mater" that came to pick up the van.

Wow, I'm so glad you all are OK. Sounds like the situation was handled well, though. Keep pressing on, a break will be nice for you all. What are your plans for the holidays?
Yes, baby h is definitely growing. He uses many, many opportunities to remind me of that. I think he's a little ornery at the lack of space my body has provided him. :)
