Guys, I know I haven't blogged in ages, and hate to post something so tragic, but I just want to remind everyone of how careful we have to be with our most precious children. I don't know if everyone is familiar with Steven Curtis Chapman, but he is a very successful Christian recording artist. I was a big fan in high school and only just realized that he was the voice behind "Cinderella", the latest song on the radio to bring tears to my eyes. Just yesterday, their 15 year old son accidentally backed over and killed their 5 year old daughter.
I cannot even imagine that family's devastation right now. Please, please redouble your efforts for child safety around the home. This has made me aware of each and every careless incident that we've dismissed with, "Oh, well. We'll remember it next time." Thank God we've been given a next time. Sorry to be such a downer, but this sort of thing makes my blood run cold.
Much love to you all. And please keep this poor family in your prayers.
Me sharing way too much information about me and my life in the burbs as I help raise 1 toddler (4 yrs and change) and triplets (almost three).

OMG when I first started reading I got all worried it was one of the boys - which, now that I think about it, would have warranted more than a 'sad news' heading, but still.
I read this story yesterday. I remember him from my Christian music days. Just a terrible, tragic accident. There's been a spate of such accidents here in the last year - children sitting behind reversing cars. I just can't imagine.
Glad to see you're still around. I was just thinking of you earlier this week and wondering.
