"Who left the baby in the road?"

I had the Young Women's combined activity - pool party- here Wednesday night. At about 5:00 Glen took the boys and said he had some errands to run and would be back about 6:30. Everyone got here and we were just getting into the swing of things when Glen came in and said, "Jen! Someone left a BABY out in the road!" My stomach dropped it made me sick!

I grabbed the car seat from him thinking maybe it was Stacie's baby Gavin, but it was a girl. I was just staring at her and my mind was whirling. She looked a lot like Savannah. I started trying to figure out who's she could be, none of my neighbors have baby girls. I took her over to the other leaders and asked if anyone knew who she was, no one recognized her. I was thinking a hundred miles an hour, shocked that someone would do that. I was thinking someone must have gotten distracted, then I turned to Glen cause I was just horrified, " It was in the STREET?" Then in the group of people standing there was Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first reaction was to say, "Sarah, someone left a baby in the street". SLowly everything clicked into place , it was a COMPLETE surprise!

That made me laugh so hard! So was the little airline address ticket in the picture hanging on the carseat while you're mind was going 100 MPH? Ha Ha! I'm glad the surprise was everything they thought it would be! Miss you!
