Todays scare



We had a scare this morning. I was in Gabe's room grabbing some clothes for him to wear for the day, when I heard CRASH!!!!!! Followed were cries from both Allie and Gabe. They were in Allie's room playing and apparently Gabe had pulled up to her chest of drawers and pulled it over on top of them (the same chest of drawers in the "spring cleaning" post). When I walked in the room, I couldn't see them, they were both underneath the piece of furniture screaming. So, I picked up the chest of drawers and found them both lying on their backs crying. Allie sat up on her own and came over to me to be comforted, but Gabe was just laying there helpless. After a quick examination of his little body, I picked him up too and held the both of them in my arms until they settled down. I haven't been that scared in a long time. I was shaking and kept thanking God that they were okay. So, today I am thankful for my sweet kiddos who I couldn't love an ounce more. They mean the world to me and today made me realize just how fast everything could change.
