This is dedicated to my Darling Niece... Suzannah.
See that precious little chin? She is such a sweet little niece... Well she found out the hard way that if you are on a scooter, and a large husky is pulling you, and the leash gets caught in the wheel, you will stop quick, and the pavement will think your chin tastes excellent. 
I think she just went out and got Seven stitches so she could get in on the boo-boo blog.
Unfortunately for her she also caught me on a hyper photoshop day!!DaNella

It is finally time!!!!
Just click the picture above!You can now Pre-order your very own copy of Microbursts! Here is just a teaser, the intro.
Microbursts!
Microburst: a sudden, short, powerful burst of wind. It is gone as quickly as it came, but you are never the same from its impact. A more official definition is a violent, short-lived, very intense localized burst of wind that blasts to the ground and fans out. When the air hits the ground, it speeds up even more and can generate winds up to 168 miles per hour. It usually results from a thunderstorm.
Microbursts have been known to do incredible wind-sheer damage. When they were first discovered, they were often mistaken for tornadoes because of the damage they left behind.
When I was thirty years old, my life was turned upside down, and it wasn’t all good. I had been married for almost ten years to a wonderful man and had four kids. My husband Quintin and I had been youth pastors for eight years, spending three of them working under the “Best Senior Pastors in the Whole World.” At least that’s what Pastor Greg told us on a regular basis. To be honest, he was right! He and his wife, Tammy, had become our best friends in those three short years.
Things were looking great... then it started. Our pastor and his wife resigned and announced they were moving to a different state. Then we resigned and moved to a different city. As if that wasn’t enough, my father-in-law, who had been living with us off and on since he was diagnosed with cancer, finally lost his fight, or won the war depending on how you want to look at it, either way, he died and went to Heaven.
My most crushing blow came after his death. I had been a stay-at-home mom for eight years, since the birth of my first child. When Poppie died, my youngest two children were only 3 & 2. I was nowhere near ready to go back to work. At the very least, I wanted to wait until my baby was in school! However, with Poppie’s death, we lost his disability income, and I had to get a job.
Through God’s wondrous favor, I found a job, and it was at this job where He started dropping revelations into my spirit, revelations so strong and impacting, I would often comment aloud, “Oh, that’s good, God!” Then I would think to myself, someone ought to write that down.
One day as I thought this, God said, “Yeah, why don’t you?”
So I said, “OK God, but what do I call them? The world is full of revelations.”
God replied, “Microbursts!”
“Microbursts?” I asked. “What is that?”
“A sudden burst of revelation that impacts you and inspires you to make a change.”
“OK,” I said, “you show them to me, and I’ll write them down.”
So, here they are... Microbursts!

My darling son Matt
My darling son Matt... He has been in the drama at church. Here are some pics of him in a human video with another young man from Christian Life Fellowship. Matt is the blond. I am so proud of him!!!
Pretty Picture...
This is a picture I took today... 
I pass by this every day, on the way to take the kids to school, and have just thought what a pretty picture it would make... I was right!

Hurt finger up date...
Well, the good thing is it is looking much better. She has regained all movement in it, and we are praying she didn't permanently damage the nail bed. Keep praying please...
Totally unrelated, but this is Matt's first attempt at the folded paper people. I thought it was pretty awesome! Just like him.

Have you ever seen a Opossum play possum?
It is a pretty cool thing to see. There was a cat in our back yard, which Nana has dubbed Princess by the way, and it was Mewing at me, so I was going out to see what it wanted, and there in the grass next to it was a Opossum playing possum. It was crazy. I could tell it was alive, because as i was moving around it to take pictures of it, my shadow fell on it's eye and it kinda flinched. Sure enough, in about an hour we went out there and checked and it had moved... Weirdest thing I have ever seen. Of course I made Nana go get my camera... lol and as much as she begged me, and she did... I wouldn't let her pick it up. lol

Robin's Nest
I could be wrong, and please tell me if I am, I am ok with being wrong, but I think this is a Robin's nest. I had always heard that if you touched the nest or eggs, the momma bird would never return and the babies would die. I always thought that was kinda mean of the mama bird. According to what I Googled (everyone knows Google is second only to God) (YES I am joking, but they are usually pretty dependable) If you leave it alone, the bird will come back. Apparently birds don't have a very good since of smell most people thought the mom had abandoned it, because she will wait 8-10 hours to go back, not wanting someone or something to see where her nest is. Interesting huh? I thought so.At any rate, the kids really got a kick out of getting to see the eggs.
P.S. We are working with the printers... Microbursts! should come out in the next two weeks!!! I am soooo excited!!!!!!! I am sure you couldn't tell.DaNella

Picture Mania...
If it happens I take a picture of it... Ok. I broke my toe... Much better btw.
Nana ripped her finger a new one... on a wagon somehow... we still don't know how she did it.
Now I guess Tym wanted some attention, so he stepped on a piece of glass... Ouch. We will all recover Praise God... and we have nifty pictures of our battle wounds... lol
