April 15, 2006...Scary phone call

We were out shopping for plants for our side yard when my oldest called. Daniel and his stepmom were involved in a car accident on the way to his friend's house for a school project. Thankfully, no one was badly hurt, but the car was totalled. It was just the two of them in the car. He was really shaken up, though...really hard to hear your big, grown-up 13-yr-old with tears in his voice.

I'm so grateful that they're OK, and I'm really sad for her. They have insurance, so hopefully it will cover the damages, but they just can't seem to catch a break.
