Accidents happen

So Thursday was our anniversary!  I promise to post about that later but right now I'm here to talk about Arnold.

I got my normal text 'heading out' and I responded with 'see you soon.  Love you'.  The next time I heard from Arnold was 20 minutes later.  It was some woman calling and saying "is this Miranda?  I'm here with your husband Arnold.  He has been in an accident".  In my hear I thought , oh he fell and needs a ride home.  But nope.  This time it was serious.

" the ambulance is here"

My heart stopped.  I don't remember breathing.

I went into mama mode.  I had her call me back with details.  The kids threw on their shoes and we ran to Lori's house.  We were off.  I was pounding on her door and about to call her cell when she answered.  All I remember saying was Arnold was in an accident and was heading to a hospital.  She grabbed my babies and hugged them. 

I was gone.

The rest of my night was a blur.  Trying to get into the er.  Trying to get to Arnold.  Trying to get the Dr to explain what was going on.  Xrays and ct scans.  I was tired.

Thankfully we are OK.

Arnold is home now.  We are getting him moving.

He has some broken ribs, some brutal road rash and three deep cuts I need to take care of. 

Its going to be a long road to recovery.

We are learning new pieces of info on the way. 

Arnold's bike is completely trashed.  There is no way we could ever fix it.  The guys are surprised he is out of the hospital already... Or even alive.

Arnold blacked out for most of it.  We are OK with that.  Less pain to remember.

We totally know God was looking out for him.

Now we wait, rest, and slowly recover.

All in all we had a great time

Today everyone is nursing their colds we all have. And are having a PJ morning. Hopefully I can sew up Ambers PJ's soon and we will be ready to go!

I hope your March break was great!

Oh yeah!! And this week marks the first week that Arnold rode his bike to work this year! I love +15-+20C weather!

2 Wheels!!!

It's been a long summer already. We have been talking about going to 2 wheels on K's bike for a while. He watched Franklin and how he tired. He has read books about people riding on 2 wheels and just over a week ago he was ready to try.

We have been using bikes that didn't have pedals on so that Kyler could practice balancing and just over a week ago Kyler said he was ready to try with pedals. Arnold JUMPED at the chance!

Here are some pictures of Kyler working on riding on 2 wheels:

Easter Monday Park Day

This morning when we got up the weather forcast said rain... but no... it was nice and sunny!

The kids and I packed up some of their easter candy, juice, water, camera, a book for me, and some music, and grabbed the kids helmets and coats and off we went around 9am. We got there and had the park to ourselves until this little girl came over with her daddy and grandma. Once they left another 2 little boys came over. And then finally, after a quick call, our neighbours came as well. Around 10:10am the little girls showed up and we had fun until 11:15 or so and then Q had to pee so we raced home on their bikes. We had a good time. Here's are photos from the day:

Final Photos from 2010

Dec 31st 2010. The last day of the year. And what a fun day!

Daddy got up in the morning and made whatever the boys wanted for breakfast. They wanted pancakes. So Arnold made everyone pancakes (except me, I'm not too fond of them).

Even special ones!

It was so warm. And when I say warm I mean around +8C or so. The boys went outside in the morning and rode their bikes!

They are lucky boys! Daddy did have to dig them out of the garage.

We had them come in and have a nap to get ready for the Zoo. We then headed out and had so much fun:
