Our first car accident...

In February of 2015 April & the kids were in a car accident.  A veterinary nurse was on her way to work and April was taking Rocco to preschool at Elwyn.

It was icy on the roads, the woman was coming down hill and they were going up...

Apparently she lost control of her car on a patch of ice and slammed into April.  Both front left sides collided with each other.  I am not aware of the outcome of the nurse's car but ours was totaled.  However, it doesn't look that way from the pictures but all of the airbags were deployed upon impact.




April and the kids were shaken up but they bounced back fairly quickly and no one, in either car, was hurt.

All-in-all it was quite an experience with replacing 3 car seats that day, getting a loaner minivan and having to lease a new car (which we wanted to do anyway)...

April & I were just thankful that everyone involved was OK and that it all worked out for the best.

Power of Prayer

Rocco asked me to help him pray for the first time this weekend... He was running a slight fever all day Saturday and was afraid of getting another stomach virus & throwing up all night long. After some acetaminophen it broke & he felt better but the fever kept coming back, even this afternoon -- April said!. Him & I had a real bad stomach bug several months ago. It was the first time I remember being laid up for 30+ hours without eating or really moving out of bed at all... He never forgot that night, hugging the toilet every few hours, etc... and wanted to say a prayer asking God to not let it happen again. Saturday night we prayed for Rocco's stomach & Giulia's boo boo on her back to go away. Sunday night we prayed for Mommy & Rocco's stomach bug. April passed a comment that she felt funny just before bed so Rocco wanted to throw her into his prayers. The prayer I came up with for the kids is a mixture of one of my lines from a song I did ...
