This gives a better perspective of the distance and angle at which she and the mower fell. 

The bright spot of sunlight is about where she landed.

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank everyone for their prayers in this time of trauma. Mandy was injured Saturday morning when she and the lawnmower she was riding slipped off the side of an embankment and flipped down. She is reasonably okay considering the alternative. I will give more detail here one day in hopes of helping everyone know how wonderful God is. Suffice to say that she is alive but without her right thumb. She will be having another surgery Thursday to repair her wrist and index finger. This should be the last surgery for a few months and they are talking about us going home sometime this weekend or early next week.
Please pray for her healing and emotional strength during this trying time. We can't thank everyone enough for the love and support you have already shown. May God bless you all. Chris

Yes, it has been over a month since I posted , and yes, it has been a busy month. I (Chris) have accepted the head coaching position for Hoover youth wrestling program. Luke has begun to walk in small increments. (Thank you God for allowing us this time to move everything out of reach and off the floor.) Don't worry, not all of the pictures have this tone to them. I will be posting several links in the next few days (I hope) so check back soon. Arlyn has a new daughter! Will (from work) is having a boy! We are still going a little insane! Beef in Beef Broth really stinks and apparently doesn't taste too good either! Too many !!!!'s sorry. 

"Ridin' along in my automobile, with no particular place to go." 

He is enjoying getting his "teeth" brushed for now. 

SWEET CHEEKS! Don't drink from the punch bowl son. 

Luke was a little camera shy about bein' nekkid. 

Who are you kidding? Luke loves the camera! 

Gene Simmon eat your heart out! Rock Out Luke! 

I think he knows that he is cute. 

Rubber Ducky is Flippin' Sweet! 

Is bath time with Mom Awesome? What do you think! 

Lookin' for Love 

Peek-a-boo! 

 

 

Moody? Luke? No way! (All of these pics were taken in this order in less than 2 minutes) 

Folsom Prison Blues

"I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders, I got chains, chains around my feet and them chains them chains, they're about to drag me down." Johnny Cash rules in this house. Luke isn't handling prison life very well.( The song is #10 on disk 2 when you follow the link in the header. No need to buy the song, just preview it) 

Luke has 2 chompers! He is now "deep-teething" and we are "little-sleeping" while he is "high-pitch-crying" and we are "nervous-break-downing". (We are actually okay but isn't this FUN!?!!!???)
