Emergency?

The other day Annecy was playing with Tadd's old cell phone and Charity told her it could not dial #'s, but do not dial 911 as it would call the police. Annecy is a lot like her sister Kenya, so she needs to find out what will happen, if I do the thing you just told me not to. Therefore she said, " Mom what if I do call 911?" Charity told her that if she did the Police would come and instead of Mom talking to them she would have to explain what she did and apologize for keeping them from the people who may really need help. She said, "will they kill me?" Charity told her they would not kill her, but they would have a hard time doing their job like they are supposed to if she called them when she didn't need them. Annecy then asked what would happen if she just dialed 91 instead of 911. So we had a conversation about how we need to try to keep far away from things we are not supposed to do, instead of do the closest thing to them. She decided she was done hearing about what she wasn't supposed to do and let it rest.


Two days later the kids and Charity went to her brothers house near Pullman, WA. Annecy was playing with her cousin Brooke and Brooke went in the other room. 2 Minutes later, the phone rang, Brooke answered it and hung up shortly saying Annecy had called 911. Uncle Chris had a talk with her about why that was not OK. Shortly after the conversation ended, a knock came at the door. Uncle Chris answered it and of course it was a policemen. So just like mom said, she had to go out and have a talk with the nice officer and came in head down and on the fringe of tears. Which made a perfect opportunity for a lot of loving and a prayer of thanks for "Natural Consequences" We are hoping the next time she will trust that Mom knows best, without testing the results.



We had lots of fun at Uncle Chris's house, Annecy became his shadow all weekend and helped him out smoking turkey, making jerkey and fertilizing the lawn. Isaiah got to go paintballing with Uncle Chris and cousin Devyn. He had so much fun. Elijah I thought would get his fill of video games after 2 days of breaking only for meals, sleep and bathroom breaks. I guess he dosen't really get sick that quick. Kenya got to spend some reading time with Aunt Brandie and Aunt Brandie gave her lots of books she could read and some stationary to write her letters when she needs more.

















The kids are still doing great and we are still so blessed to have our whole family together. Annecy and Isaiah had to go to University of Washington Medical Center last Wednesday to get their first check up. They did great even after 4 shots and 8 viles of blood taken and a 1.5 wait. So far they are healthy, but not too happy about the certain "samples" that needed to be provided. All is great on the home front. Thank you to all who are and have prayed and all who have helped out in many different ways. Here are a couple pictures of the kids in Gymnastics.
