Miracles happen

This weekend was a very enjoyable one. We decided not to make the hour long trek to church, so Ryan and Tiffany got to sleep in on Saturday. We went to the playground with Harrison in the afternoon, until it started to rain. Then we had the pleasure of babysitting little Camille. She was so fun and adorable. She talked and talked to Harrison and he showed her his favorite toy- Bubba, a stuffed puppy. He showed her Bubba's foot, hand, ear, nose, eyes, tummy and back.
On Sunday, Ryan and Tiff slept in again. Harry and I went to the grocery store and when we got back they were still... Sleeping! That afternoon after Harrison and I took a nap, we all went downtown to Eslite bookstore, where I found an adorable memory book. Then we went to a food court to eat some yummy Japanese food, unfortunately that eatery was closed. We did happen across a Godiva store where Tiffany and I each got a truffle! Then we picked up food from about three different booths and ate to our fill, except for Ryan, who- as you probably know, is never full! As it was getting late we headed home knowing Harrison wouldn't be in bed by his regular bedtime. When we got to our stop, Jiantan, on the MRT we deboarded the train and headed to the escalator. When we got about halfway down on the escalator Harrison started fussing and saying "SHOE, SHOE," I looked down and saw his shoe had disappeared into the side of the escalator! I immediately picked him up and tried pulling his leg, it didn't budge though, so i quickly pulled down his sock and managed to free his foot that way, then the escalator spit the shoe and sock back out onto our step. I picked it all up just before we reached the bottom. He was wearing his crocs and the one that had been stuck was completely destroyed. Ryan tossed it in the trash, and I carried Harrison home. All the way home Harrison kept telling us about his harrowing experience. "Shoe, away, daddy. Hurt." Which meant, "Daddy threw away his shoe." And "his foot hurt."
How grateful we are to have been able to bring home our little boy, without even a scratch! God is so good.

Oh my gosh Ori, I cant even believe it! Praise God that Harry still has his foot/leg and that hes not hurt. The Lord really took care of your little baby that day.
