An eventful Sunday

Yesterday was a good day until.......we got a new couch.   To make a long story short our house is set up a little weird.  The door we have to move things in and out of  is on the front of the house, and a set of stairs is directly inside of it.  Naomi and I got the couch in the door and up the stairs.  Then we had to turn it.  As we turned it, I tried to adjust and ended up shattering the light fixture on the ceiling.  There was a delay, and then the blood started.  Naomi had a puncture wound to her forearm and I could not get the bleeding to stop.  In the middle of all of this were the kids and on top of that our home phone is messed up, waiting for repairs.  So, I ran next door got the neighbor, called the ambulance and got the kids together.  The bleeding finally stopped and they released her to go on our own to the hospital.  She has quite a puncture but it only needed a stitch to close it.  We are very lucky this wasn't worse.  We got back to the house at 6:30, got the kids.  Finished 8twleve our preteen group at church and passed out at 9:30.  We have decided if we move we will just leave the furniture in this house.  It will be a lot easier and safer.

Hey Pruitts,

Love your new blog and encourage you to keep it up. Ouch! Hope Naomi's arm is healing up. I'm sure it didn't slow her down. Maybe you should have had her stitched to the couch for a bit while you had the chance...
Seth has had quite an eventful couple days. He was elected by his class to be "homecoming king" for the sophomore class. The school called us and Stacy and I snuck into the pep rally in time to see the entire student body (1400 kids) cheering him on in the gym. He proudly walked home that day, still wearing his crown and sash :)
