CRAZY!

The latest in the Erickson craziness…

Emma got her thumb caught in her floor fan.  The fan has been broken for about a year or so.  The only way we can use it is to leave the grate off the front and spin it by hand to start it.  During the darkness she tried to move it and sliced through her thumb pretty bad.  That was quite the ordeal with comments like, “I’m losing too much blood…I’m going to die.  My thumb is going to fall off!!!”

Garth and some other Westerners are a part of an adult volleyball league here in town.  It is outside on a concrete court in the hot sun in the middle of the afternoon.  They did a great job even though they lost.

Then we had the final games of our basketball tournaments.  Both our girls and boys teams were in it.  The girls lost by two points and the boys won by three.  Even though it was late we decided to let all of our kids stay up for the games and be a part of the excitement.  So by the time the games were over we were all hot and ready for bed.  However, when we got back to our apartment, Emma couldn’t find the key.  We looked EVERYWHERE.  Even taking a flashlight outside to see if she dropped it on the way to the gym.  SO, I borrowed some clothes from the dorm kids, showered them in a Hostel shower and waited to see what we should do next.  After awhile Garth found the key to the back door and got us in that far.  However the door that is locked is in between our apartment and the rest of the Hostel.  So we have to walk outside and around to get to the kitchen or any other part of the Hostel.  Pray that we are able to find the key…soon.

Okay.  Now that it is really late-I am off to bed.

Love you all
