Example A1:
Two weeks ago while we were hanging out on the deck I reached over to put a shirt on Will and at that exact moment he tripped, fell and hit his eye on the the lower beam of the deck.It was completely healed when just two days ago this happened:
Example A2:
He fell and hit his eye (note the same one) on Rodney's childhood bike (it's made of pure metal) while we were in the garage.
My little boy looks like he belongs on a hockey team.
Example B:
In between these two mishaps, about a week ago, Will got locked in the car while we were at Walgreens in the 85 degree heat. I decided to jump in the back and change his diaper before getting on the road and as I got out and shut the door all four locks engaged (with my keys and cell phone in the front seat). I ran into the store and proceeded to declare "I just locked my 15 month old in the car." They hurriedly called the police for me and and within minutes both they and the fire department arrived. The firemen assured me that if they could not get him out speedily that they would break the window. I thought, I sure hope they don't have to do that but if they do I really don't care because I just want my child out. Luckily it took them about 60 seconds and through tears I thanked them.
All I know is that this smile brightens my day and reminds me that the rewards of being a parent far outweigh the scary moments.
Thank God for that.

Funny... Rowan has a goose-egg/bruise on his forehead from falling on the edge of the coffee table... Then, Andrew came in to get him this morning from bed and he had poop EVERYWHERE! He had it in his teeth!!! Makes you wonder what God was thinking letting you be in charge of one of his babies, huh?
This won't be the last time you think that. But it's all a part of letting go. You're wonderful, G...And Will is soooo lucky to have you as a mommy.
Just wait until the 2 Malone children start playing together! This is the first of many more bumps and bruises and broken bones to come...It is no way a reflection of your ability to mother! Micah knocked over Isaac last week, his teeth went into his lip and his white onesie looked like a scene from a horror movie there was so much blood! We do the best we can and pray at the end of the day that God equips us with what we need for tomorrow! I am certain you are a wonderful mom!

Remember David's scrapes from the skateboard? Don't feel bad. It happens to all of us :)
This is Gina's one and only Mom.
I haven't gotten used to blogging,
so I just found Gina's blog address on my computer. I promise to be a better grandmother and I will look at this everyday. I will make sure I get used to this because I know how important it is to Gina and I love her with all my heart. She is an awesome daughter and mother, and I am very proud of her and the woman she has become. Her talent is from God and she is truelly my angel God sent to me.
I miss Will so much and he is the cutest little guy that is so close to me heart. (besides his cousin, Evan!) I hope this gets posted.
Love, Nana
