Accidents happen.

Accidents happen. I had to explain this to Caleb earlier today when he dumped Sam out of the stroller face first. Oops. A casual stroll to the library turned into a chaotic and very bloody mess on the way home. Being the cool and calm mother that I am, I most certainly did NOT panic the moment I saw Caleb hit the broken piece of sidewalk jutting up and flip the stroller over. My heart did not skip a beat as I saw Sam's arms fly out and his face bounce off the pavement. Nope. Not me. I was as cool as a cucumber. Well, maybe I wasnt all that calm. Ha ha!

I did drop the library books and rush over, pick my baby up and begin to comfort him. I actually had to comfort Caleb more as he was screaming "I don't want to see the blood! It's all my fault!" while covering his eyes. In the end, there was more blood than actual injury. His wounds will heal and Caleb's heart was comforted.

**On a side note, while typing the above, Caleb and Abbie somehow pushed Sam while playing and he now has an upper swollen bloody lip as well as a lower bloody and swollen lip. Ahhh, the joys of motherhood!
Earlier today before he got his bloody lip. Those marks are from playing at the park last night. childhood can be so rough!
Caleb is in the green shirt in the middle jumping. This is the play area in the mall in Eden Prairie. Its about 25 minutes from our house and we go there alot!!!

So, life is continuing on. Day by day. Not a whole lot is happening for us right now. The kids and I try to find some sort of routine to our days, but right now it still feels like temporary living. Like we aren't going to be here much longer. I still havent unpacked half of my pots and pans, clothes, decorations. But maybe that is how we are supposed to live, especially as Christians. This world is not our home, we are just passing through. Our treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. We can't stay at home in this world forever, right? Love ya'll! Hugs to you, Mom, and thanks for listening!
