Our God is so great,
so strong and so mighty,
there's nothing our God cannot do!
We witnessed this first hand when our monkey Tristan fell from the scissor lift 9 feet up onto a concrete floor, and not only survived but came thru with minor injuries. It was a miracle really.
A couple weeks ago I went with all four kids to get groceries and pick up a few things from the local hardware store for Andy. When we came home Tristan grabbed the bag for Andy and said "I'm going to go say hi to dad."
With-in two minutes Andy was running across the lawn with Tristan in his arms, a limp bloody little boy, who had climbed the scissor lift where Andy was working in the new barn. The lift was moving and had made a sudden stop and Tristan, not prepared, catapulted off.
I could tell you about what a scary drive we had and all the rest but the fact is, he came out of the hospital with five stitches on his face and many a bruise. Even the Dr's were amazed, they took multiple x-rays and there was nothing else, not even one broken bone! We give all glory to God and we are so grateful this spunky little man has a reason to be with us!
The first week was filled with scary dreams for Andy and myself, and we still get racing hearts when we hear a kid screaming (even in play), we tip toe quietly to his bedroom at night and watch him peacefully sleep, thankful for the spark that has since returned to his eyes and the fact that he is with us.

| Discharged from the hospital. Still in shock and so very tired. |
 |
| A couple days later. He could eat again, his jaw was very sore at first and hard to open. |
 |
| Stitches coming out! |
 |
| Three weeks later - almost as good as new:) |
We tried taking some pictures to announce the good news of the expected baby. But afterwards thought his eye looked too black, so didn't end up using them. Oh well, the kids weren't really cooperating anyways :D And my camera battery died and ... and, and, and!
