How tall is 37?

Emma and I were having a conversation this afternoon which consisted of several questions on her part that really make me laugh..... I thought I'd pass them along?

She knows Daddy is 37, so she wanted to know "How tall is 37?" which was followed up with "When will daddy go bald?" and "how old will you be when I'm 100?" and "how tall is that?"

It's been a blessing to enjoy some of these special conversations with the girls at the end of a stressful 12 months .... Jon and I were just reflecting on the fact that we are beginning to feel a sense of "recovering " from this past year, which is a blessing for sure!

Recovering

Jon and I are both recovering from our accident. He had 4 stitches which have been removed, to reveal a nice scar under his eye. His knee seems to be improving and will hopefully continue in that direction. My leg swelling has gone down significantly, leaving a slight lump on my shin. Officially diagnosed as some type of hematoma (subperiosteal maybe?) which means it will take a while for the blood to be re-absorbed and the swelling to go down completely. It is much less painful and only hurts now when going up and down stairs, or when Evangeline runs into it (which is quite often).

We've been so blessed by our family and our church family who have done many home chores and brought many meals for us..... thank you so very much. And those who are far, thank you for your prayers, phone calls and emails....
