The Elevator Story

I know we have told this story a million times but I want to have it in writing...

A few weeks ago we went to a family game night at the school. Merik LOVES to play in the elevators and we were going to the second floor so he hopped in and pushed the button. We went up and got out of the elevator...well everyone but Merik. The doors closed incredibly fast and suddenly I heard this terrifying scream fading away. Merik was gone! Micah hopped in another elevator and went down and I waited hoping Merik's elevator would come back. After what seemed like eternity Merik showed up with a faculty member and his wife who had discovered him crying in the elevator on the 4th floor. He was a little traumatized. Since then he will randomly tell me, "Sorry I got stuck in the elevator Mommy. I won't get lost again." Then while he was watching An American Tail he told Grammy Jill, "Fievel lost his family? I lost my family too." and proceeded to tell the elevator story for the millionth time.

Merik also makes friends with EVERYONE and family game night was no different. Here he is with his friend Binh Dao, a classmate of Micah's, playing Candy Land.





And the girls...they had a bunch of TVs and X-boxes so the guys could play Halo and all of us moms supervised the kiddies. I will miss these girls!
