Well we have been having a wonderful time this summer. The kids are tan and happy. That is until June 26th at about 130 or 200 in the morning. Kristianne bursts into our room and said that Noah had just fallen out of bed. Now a little bit of background. He sleeps on the top bunk of our bunk bed. It does have railings and all the correct protection.
Needless to say when Kristianne said that he had fallen we had him come into our room and that is when we had the discovery... In the dark Tom said "We have blood", now I didn't exactly know from where we had blood but we did. I immediatly turned on the bedroom light to see Noah covered in blood on his hands and face. There was also a large dut on his forehead between his eyebrows.
I began looking for the first aid kit and Tom is trying to assess how bad he is. Then I looked at Tom and he was white as a ghost. I precided to put 3 butterfly bandaids on his head and cover it with a sterile gauze. I then put him in the van and drove him to the Hospital. I called my mom to come over and help me make it though this ordeal. It was amazing because we found that not one light was red when we came to it. Heavenly Father was really watching over us this morning.
Then I get to the Hospital and they get him in and my mom showed up. I was so grateful that she was there because I don't think I could have done it while he was being stitched up. I waited in the waiting room and then was able to come back to him. He was smiling and doing so well. The doctor put 9 stitched in his little head. We then went home and tried to get some sleep because by this time everyone was awake. While at the hospital then the other 2 with Tom watched a movie to take their minds off what was going on. Kristianne was really worried about her little brother.
I am so grateful that Kristianne was alert enough even in her sleep to come and get us up to help Noah.
By about 4 in the morning we all finally fell back to sleep. Then at 7 we all started to wake up and begin our day. I am so grateful for the protection of the priesthood that helped us know what needed to be done during this trial. Also I am very much in awe of Noah's ability to be so strong during this painful ordeal.

School's Out
We have just about made it to the end of school this year. I just wanted to share with all that both Kristianne and Noah recieved the perfect attendance award for the whole year. Also, Kristianne was awarded the Magnificant Mustang Award which means she got proficient and/or advanced on her report card. She also got the Principal's list and Most improved in Social Studies.
Noah also got the Magnificant Mustang and the Principal's List. He also got the most improved award for Reading. He has gone from doing his grade level to reading above it this last trimester.
Jonah is becoming more ready for the older kids to be home. I think he needs someone to rough house and play with. He has turned into a Cars fanatic and Green Eggs and Ham fanatic. I am getting really bored of watching these movies 3-4 times a week. We now only have movies to watch. We got rid of our cable. I guess it could be worse than cars every other day. I am boring.
Tom is finished with this last quarter. He is also ready for a break for summer. we are hoping that we are still on schedule to graduate in spring of next year (2010). Right now we are down to prayer to get that far.
We are moving this summer to a 3 bed room apartment in the same area but are continuing to find a home or condo to purchase. We are being realistic that we are probably not able to get a home yet but it never hurts to look. Maybe we will be surprised. We are needing to move into a bigger place because Kristianne needs to be in her own space and we are busting out of this little apartment.
I am doing much for the school. I think that I now have 6-8 teachers that I am helping get prepared for next year. Also I am on the PTA. Nothing of a position on the board but I am a parent volenteer. I know that it is for my children as well as their friends. It is so much fun to hear "Hello, Mrs. Guymon", from across the playground or lunchroom. I think that it makes Kristianne and Noah feel really good that I am there to help in their classrooms.
