we were rear-ended....

so today, on our way to work and daycare, we were stopped at the bottom of the steep hill that connects one of our side streets to a busier street.....sitting blissfully in the Pilot.....in our own little morning cocoons. when, bam. like really BAM.

we had been hit from the rear. 2000 lbs hitting your vehicle from the rear end feels very startling.

vic puts on his 4 way flashers, gets out and goes to the back of the vehicle. no damage done to our vehicle (while minimal). the woman who hit us did not slow down for the road conditions - we had some snow this morning. she did more damage to her own vehicle.

he got the particulars and phoned our insurance company.

we are all okay. sophie was a bit confused....wondered why we were stopped at a stop sign and daddy had to get out of the vehicle.

how was your morning?

Not a very cool morning for you all. I hope the rest of your day went so much better. And we are very relieved to hear that everyone is okay.
