A Lot of Neighborhood News

We've had some interesting happenings in the neighborhood recently.

A little while back, someone from our neighborhood was working at his business in a Detroit suburb, and was notified by some passersby that there was a baby crying in a dumpster. He investigated and helped rescue the baby. The mother of the baby was just today found and charged. Here is a link to the story.

Today, much worse news: there was a shooting outside a home near ours. About 8:30 this morning, a homeowner shot and killed a man who had just arrived at the house to see him. No one has reported exactly what the relationship between the two men was, but according to eyewitnesses, it appears the homeowner brought a gun outside with him when he met with the other man. The shooter's family was at the house when this happened, and his 4th grade son goes to the same school as our kids. Here is a link to the story.

The amazing thing about these two stories is that the same man is at the center of them - the homeowner is the same man who helped get the baby from the dumpster.

I can't top that for excitement in our lives, but we had a great Thanksgiving this year, seeing almost every single major family member (just missed a few neices) and it was nice to catch up with everyone and get some pictures. We have a lot to be thankful for in our family.
