and a picture from the scene - cottage & eastern

jake and i were talking this morning about how so many people stopped to help us before the fire dept. and police got there. they were all trying to help me and the kids and calm the kids down, since all but isaac were hysterical. but there are lots of people around here that care, even for people they've never met before.

Everyone's doing well. air bags went off, and seat belts did their jobs. the tail light is also busted, but no glass broke. It's a Christmas miracle, and we are so thankful that we were protected, and so was the other driver.

kids

unrelated to the pictures, but worthy of saying..... we have a book of fondant cake ideas. one of them (think cinderella) has a pumpkin with little mice peeking out the holes. and carly said (imagine a lot of feeling) "i love pumpkin cakes with rats inside"

it snowed!

yes, this is a picture of the snow. i know, it looks a lot like the grass, but the white flecks is actually snow! zoom in.
