Scary? You have a gift for understatement. I'd have been hiding in the closet with the two boys and a big bat ready to swing it.

Glad the guys were caught before they could wreak havoc on anyone.

It's weird, but I was very calm. Maybe it just didn't sink in. I was focused on the computer (imagine that), and Rob was like, "Well, you don't seem very worried about it." I said, "We're in the house and the doors are locked," as

Indeed scary! Glad you and Rob are ok. Hope they caught all of the kidnappers. You're fortunate to have good law enforcement out there.

I was heading out the door to pick up my 6yo, Andrew, at the bus stop. A cop came flying up and told me to get inside and lock my door! I said I had to get my son and he said "no, go inside now! There are plenty of police to take care of your son." I was totally freaking out. The police had all the streets blocked off, the helicopters were flying with their guns out right at our roof tops. Turns out the car crashed the next street over and the guys were in the yards behind our across the street neighbors houses! I was on the street right when it all started. The bus took Andrew back to school and he was fine - I'm still a bit of a mess, thanking God for taking such good care of us that day!

I haven't written lately. I am very sad to tell you that our 8 year old, Jeremy, passed away on August 18th. He had so many problems, I take some comfort knowing he is with the Lord and no longer suffering. The mommy in me is in agony, but I am trying to get back to some physical exercise and spirit lifting.
