Bunk Bed

Here are Kate and Emma in their triple bunk bed. Because of the lense that was on the camera we couldn't squeeze in Faith Ann, but she is just below Emma. They love their bed...though sometimes it scares me. Faith Ann is not allowed to climb to the top. And nobody can be up top unless it is for sleeping. They aren't allowed to play. We did have a scare one night. The power went out and we didn't realize it, but the lantern ran out of kerosene too. Faith Ann started to cry (she is terrified of the dark) and then we heard a loud thud and a scream. I immediately recognized the cry as Kate's and so Ben and I jumped out of bed and ran down the hall. I was afraid of what we might find. Thankfully, she had been on her way down the ladder to go to the bathroom. The power went out, and b/c she was probably half asleep and it was suddenly dark, she fell. Her fall wasn't as far as we thought it was and all she got was some minor bruising. It took me a while to fall back asleep that night! Just another reminder of God's daily protection!
