哪位英文高手帮忙翻译一下

7.It dawned on me that David's children had never beard their father pray. He had committed his life to Christ after the divorce.
8. David's short prayer broke the ice. Before tearing into gifts, we strung cranberries and made popcom balls .then came the presents. After a few minutes ,the sound of ripping paper ceased. Scoff had found the bottle of bubbles. The other kids quickly unwrapped their similarly shaped gifts. The bubbles had been David's idea.
9.Within minutes our nearly grown children, all five of them, were chasing each other around the house, blowing bubbles and laughing like little kids. I wish I could have videotaped the commotion. So many things that other families take for granted were surprise gifts for us .But that's to be expected when you're trying to blend two families.
10.Starting Over. One out of very three Americans is either a stepparents, a stepchild or some other member of a step family. According to the Census Bureau, the number of children living with their biological mother and a stepfather increased 13percent to six million between 1980 and 1985 ,and the number living with a stepmother and a biological father increased 2percent to 740,000 .Undoubtedly, these numbers are even higher today.
11.When David and I decided to get married, we knew that successfully blending our families wasn't going to happen overnight ,given the advanced ages of our children, Scoff and Michelle ,didn't attend our wedding . Then David's ex-wife demanded that he not tell me anything she had told him about their children .He replied that he couldn't agree to her request since I was his wife. Most of their telephone conversations ended with angry, raised voices.
12.After David and I returned from our honeymoon, my daughter Shelly, then 14 ,and I had our own skirmishes. Our battlegrounds were the usual for mothers and daughters: dating ,school, curfews. Against my wishes, she went to live with her father.
13.Suddenly, Andrea was the only child in the house. But she challenged David's authority from the start -even in unimportant matters. If he asked her to get her books off the kitchen table, she would bark. "You aren't my father!"
14.After just two weeks ,we knew the task of blending our families would be even more difficult than we had imagined. Through trial and error, through tears and hugs, here are some things we've learned over the past five years:
15.Make your marriage a priority. David and I did not rush into marriage. As Christians ,we were both very anxious for more of God's presence this time around. Why? We knew that the odds of second marriages lasting are even than first marriage.
16.Before our wedding ,we sat down with each of the children and explained to them that ,next to God ,our marriage would be given top priority. Of course, we assured them that we would love them as always, but we were adding the new responsibility of loving a spouse, too.
