It's a bird, it's a plane, it's superman...

Well, it's not really Superman,
it's just my husband...
But last night he acted like Superman.
It was pretty late, 9:21pm to be exact (cuz that's when i paused the Bachelorette)
Frank was out walking the dogs for the last time for the night,
and saw a car go speeding past.
A few minutes later he heard a huge screech and then he heard the car smash into the ground and crash.
He sprinted into the house, left the dogs and ran for his car with his phone in hand.
As he was getting into the car, he managed to say that he heard a car crash and was going to help.
He sped down the road (it only happened less than a half mile away).
He got there and the car was upside down and on fire.
There was a lady outside the car screaming for her friend to get out.
He ran up to her, yelling for her to get away from the car before it blew up.
He quick got back in the car and came home for the fire extinguisher.
He was calling 911 as he drove.
I got in the car with him to go back, in case someone needed CPR.
When we got there, he made me wait at the car a bit back, in case it were to blow up.
He ran up to the car and put the fire out with the extinguisher.
Unfortunately there was enough gas leaking to keep relighting the fire.
It was only a few minutes after that that the rescue squad and police and fire dept got there.
He said he would have pulled the guy out of the car, but he looked dead already (which unfortunately he was).
The car was really bad.
Mangaled and twisted and flipped around and on fire.
But Frank wasn't afraid to get right up to it and try to help.

That's one of the best things about my husband though, his selflessness.
He's willing to do almost anything to help someone.
That's what will always make him the best (and to Mady and Em, the worst) dad...look out guys, lol
He really is my Superman.

So Kay got me this really awesome toy. It's a hand-held scanner!! It let me scan pictures, like the ones below from my wedding album, onto the card and transfer them to my computer. Then i can save them forever on my flash drive! It's so much fun, i've been scanning everything i can find!! Look how nice they come out :)

The building of the deck (condensed version)

The beginning, the steps


Coming off the sunroom
The boys, hard at work
2/3 of the way done
