It has been a while since I posted an update. We are all doing well, and getting better each day. The doctor told me I could start trying to walk without my crutches and should be done with them for sure in the next 2 weeks. I just have 2 weeks of physical therpy to go to. I will be glad to get back to normal. Everyone else is doing good too. Mark is still a little sore but, nothing major. We are still looking to buy a car. For anyone shopping for car insurance State Farm has been awesome. Thanks to everyone for all the help and meals.

Angels

Our family definitely has angels watching over us. We had an accident on Saturday morning. A pickup ran a red light and hit us on the passenger side. We were on our way to Andrew's last football game. It was Mark, Me, Kaitlyn and Andrew in the van. Thank the Lord Caleb & Brayden had spent the night at grandma & grandpa's so they were not with us. We were very blessed to walk away without any major injuries. Kaitlyn never had a scratch on her, even though the window next to her blew out and the glass was all over her. The winter stocking cap she had on was found 50ft away laying in the intersection from the force. She never had a bump or bruise. She definitely had an angel protecting her. Andrew was in the very back and he chipped a tooth from his teeth hitting together. He also had a little sore muscles afterward but he was very lucky also. Mark unbelievable was alert during it all and help to steer the car and keep us from hitting the utility pole. He was able to get everyone out right away. The air bags did go off so I am sure that helped him from getting any major injuries. He has just been really sore for the past few days. I guess I took the brunt of it. I miraculously only had a fractured ankle, a few broken ribs and lots or bumps and bruises. I don't remember any of the accident, but I guess that is for the best. I know we could have been a lot more worse off if he would have hit us a little farther back on mine or Kaitlyn's door. WE ARE SO BLESSED! We have had so many people helping us out. They are truly a blessing too.

Mother\Son Corn Maze

This week we had our annual mother son outing with Andrew's school. This year Caleb was old enough to come too. We went to New Salem Corn Maze. We got to take a wagon ride, go through the corn maze, pick a pumpkin and then they had cider and cookies afterward. It was a lot of fun. Andrew walked ahead of us with his friends. Caleb was not to sure about that. If Andrew would get too far ahead where we could not see him Caleb was worried that we were going to lose him. I don't think Caleb liked the maze too much. He kept asking if we were almost done. Of course it was cold and drizzling too. Just like last year. We still had a lot of fun.
