Somebody stopped suddenly in front of Mrs. Nod; she also stopped suddenly, but the car behind didn't make the grade. In fact, the grade of the hill that driver came down probably had a little to do with the velocity and momentum with which she got hit. But don't worry, we got the license plate. In fact, you can see it embedded in our bumper in this picture.
Ultimately, the damage is one fender and bumper superstructure. The driver of the other car's insurance should take care of it. The larger concern was that Mrs. Nod and the toddlers, Nub and Nib, were ok, especially since Nub just had a hernia surgery and the stitches are still fresh. The doctor seems to think everybody's ok, except for a little whiplash on Mrs. Nod. The next day or two should tell if there are any additional symptoms. Soft tissue damage is slow to show up and even slower to heal.
The other casualties of the accident are two of our car seats. Once you're in any kind of accident, you have to replace them Just In Case. At $150 - $300 a pop, this ain't cheap. It's been a long day with doctor's visits, insurance claims, musical rental car nonsense, and auto body shops.
I'm tired and my advent tree still isn't up, despite the kids' pleas. Be careful out there ...

Glad to see no one was seriously hurt and will pray for no further complications.
Thanks Mike. Mrs. Nod and the kids are a little sore, but we continue to watch them carefully. Prayers gratefully appreciated.
