Motorcycle accident and Swimming lessons

Yesterday Keith got hit while riding his motorcycle. He was on his way home from work and was on one of the main roads here in Clinton. He was stopped at a light and the cars in front of him started going and then stopped suddenly. He started going with them, and then stopped. The car behind him didn't see everyone stop and he rear-ended Keith. Keith said it was all a very surreal experience. While he was flying through the air he was thinking "What is going on? Did someone pull me off of the bike?" If you are going to get hit while riding a motorcycle, conditions couldn't have been better. (although we don't recommend getting hit) They were only going 5-10 miles an hour. Keith had his helmet and his nifty armor riding jacket on. Because of those things, he wasn't hurt badly. He did decide to go to the hospital because his hand was hurting. He ended up with a sprained wrist and some bruises. We are so grateful for our neighbors!! Again, more and more blessings. One neighbor sent their son over to watch the kids so I could go to the hospital. This babysitter got the kids dinner and got them all in pajamas and got them to bed for us. I was so grateful. Thanks Jake!! The other 2 neighbors went and got Keiths bike for us while we were at the hospital. It was so very nice to come home and not have to worry about getting the bike. Thank you Curt and Dave!! We feel so blessed. Things could have been so much worse, and our neighbors really are the angels among us. After all of that rambling, all I have to say is "WEAR YOUR HELMET!".









Things have been so busy for us. When Im doing swimming lessons, not much else gets done. When Im going canning, not much else gets done. Since I did those things back to back, you can imagine how behind things are now! The kids sure do love their swimming lessons though. Here are some pictures of my little fish.
