Feeling Worried
Hearing 101 Dalmations
The Riesenbergs were in an accident!
Our dear friends the Riesenbergs were in an accident yesterday. Thankfully it appears that they will be okay. Please keep them in your prayers today. I have included some pictures of them from happier moments... I thought the pictures could illustrate better than words how my children and I feel about that family.
Click here: Ramblings of an Unschooling Family is Laura's blogOver the past years my family has lost several friends unexpectantly---Craig Bryant to a heart attack, Tom Rafalski to a heart attack, Walt to cancer...it is frightening to think we could have lost all or some of our beloved friends yesterday. I sat down and cried. It is so terrifying to think how close they came to being killed.
I am glad they know how much we love them.
"Hello, homeschool families:
I received the following notes from Laura Riesenberg. They were involved in a car accident yesterday. Thankfully, they are all ok - just banged up. I have asked Laura if there is anything our group can do. But if you'd like to call and check up on them, that would be great. I pasted her last 2 e-mails below: we were involved in a serious accident after I picked the girls up from the studio....the van is probably going to be totaled, but thankfully we walked away with fairly minor injuries (burns from airbags, bruises, cuts, back aches, etc)....things would have been much worse had we been in a car or even the minivan....a landscape truck coming the opposite way lost a huge auger off the bed of its trailer and it came flying into the front end of the van. Our guardian angels must have been watching out of us....the van didn't roll, I didn't hit the flatbed of the towtruck that was in front of me (which would have probably decapitated both me and Hannah) and the lady behind me didn't rearend us, the windows didn't shatter..... The auger hit the front corner/driver side.......ripped off the bumper, pulled it under the car, destroying the wheel/rod,everything on the driver side. The truck stopped (it took him a few minutes, he ended up about 1/2 mile down the road).....there is definitely some neglicence (sp) involved....he either didn't secure it properly (his fault) or the pin assembly was bad (company's fault). I am trying not to be angry.....after all the 4 things I can't replace walked away from it....Will and Sophie only had slight redness from their carseat straps and Em just banged her knee (apparently when she saw Will's carseat flying up she instinctively tried to stand up to grab it with her seatbelt of so her knee had a "rug burn" from the back of the seat)....emotionally they are torn up (you should hear Sophie in her little 2 year old voice tell about the accident...of course according to her version,the fact that she fell in the grass when she got out of the car is worse than the crash)....Em swears she will never learn to drive....Sophie and Will tossed and fussed all night."

Oh gosh! Glad everyone is basically ok! Hope they have good auto insurance and can get a replacement van without too much trouble.
