This morning we all (Grandma, Grandpa, Tom and I, and the boys) piled into the van and drove out to Jasper, TN. In celebration of Jackie’s 70th birthday coming up in December, she and Tom decided to go skydiving together!!! It was fairly nerve wracking for all of us to some degree leading up to the jump, but it was WAY cool to see them both come parachuting triumphantly down onto the runway. As they were getting onto the little twin engine plane to make their ascent to 10,000 feet, Jonas asked, “Mommy, do you think Grandma’s scared? Do you think Daddy’s scared?” I said, “Sure, buddy. Do you want to pray for them?” Before he could even answer, Xander said, “Yes!”, and so we did. Add that to Grandpa’s prayer over them before they walked into the Chattanooga Skydiving Company building and their priest’s blessing before they left home and all of the other prayers that I know were being offered up on their behalf, and I would say they were pretty well-covered in prayer. It’s the only way to go. Yay for living life to the fullest Jackie and Tom Seyfried style!!!
