Don't be scared!

So the kids and I are home now. Very nice to be back in our own environment. We had fun at my mother in-laws but it is always nice to go home. And she is excited to get some additional sleep. My kids are early risers and she is not.

Some of you may have seen Mike the last couple days at school and been a bit taken back by his appearance. He broke his nose in his fall and he is actually starting to look a bit better. His eye isn't so puffy and the colors are vanishing slowly. Hudson wasn't so sure about him yesterday when he showed up at school. He hadn't seen the picture of Mike the night before and didn't know that he got hurt.

When Mike called and told us what had happened I had to laugh. When Chloe saw the picture she was a bit taken back by it then we laughed at it. Yes we laugh at our families fumbles sometimes. You just can't help but laugh when you hear some stories about how clumsy we can be.

One time I was taking our Great Dane, Astro, for his nightly walk around the lake with my sister in law and the neighbor came down with his Dane so they could play. Well, anyone who has seen a Dane get up to speed can attest to the fact that it takes them just as long to slow down. Well, we were talking at the edge of the lakeour backs to the dogs, when the dogs were coming toward us. We heard them and turned around just in time for me to see those two making a B-line for me! I was hit full speed by those two and pushed in the air who knows how high and landed in the lake about 3 feet out with them both on me! They didn't know what to do for the first few seconds then they ran over and got the dogs off me and asked if I needed help. I couldn't even talk because I was laughing so hard!! They were laughing so hard that they couldn't hardly help me up. How can you not laugh sometimes at other people or ourselves for that matter.
This picture is Astro as a pup!

This is If you know Mike you know that he was good on his feet until his accident now he is a bit of a claud. His foot just doesn't work right. He struggles with his physical limitations every day.
