Sweet Child of Mine: The McCall Family: 23 weeks!

Hudson's memory for this week will be that he was home with Daddy when lightning struck the house! I had a funeral and a wedding to go to on Saturday so Zach was at home watching Hudson alone when the storm rolled in. He said that he heard the thunder then heard what he said sounded like sheet metal banging together as the house was shaking. Of course the dogs started going crazy and Hudson was screaming because he was scared. Luckily it did not start a fire. A lot of appliances stopped working, including the air conditioning which is not fun in this miserable weather we are having. As of today, pretty much everything but the kitchen stove has been repaired and is back up and running. I am just thankful everyone was safe.
This event was just another reminder in the week that health and life are not promised to us each day and that we should all remember to be thankful for each day that we have with those that we love. Earlier in the week I learned that a friend's mother passed away after battling cancer for over 3 years. The next day I found out that a dear friend from high school passed away unexpectedly just 2 days before her 31st birthday. Both of these were amazing women that were taken away from their loved ones too soon. I guess God had other plans for them. Each day we have with our loved ones is a gift. Please keep these families in your thoughts and prayers.

On a happier note here is my crazy 23 week old who I have seen roll over at least a handful of times so I know that he can do it. The problem is that he still hates being on his tummy so now he is just content with rolling to his side and stopping there. It is like he knows what will happen if he keeps going so he either stops really fast with his legs or he flops back over on his back. We have some work to do Hudson...
