What a Weekend!

The weekend is over and we missed a tornado by less than a mile! It stormed here Friday evening and it was wicked! It looked like something out of a horror film. The electricity went out around 10:30 pm and didn't come back on until around 5:00 am.. It was pretty hot during the day so we had turned the a/c on - it got hot quickly after the ceiling fan went off especially. I tossed and turned (and was also a tad fearful a tree was going to come flying through the bedroom window) so I went to Ava's bed (she was in bed with Isabella). Steve said he ended up going downstairs to sleep because our bedroom was just too hot. Thankfully, we were spared from a tornado and didn't have any damage.

Sunday we didn't go to church because the girls still sounded horrible with their coughs and I still can't see the best (things are still pretty blurry). It was a beautiful morning and Ava and I took a little walk while Steve and Isabella were asleep. There were tons of neighbors outside and we stopped and chatted with them. When we got back home, Steve was outside and we sat out back and drank coffee with JD and Ellen and their neighbor Pam. We all sat and talked for a couple hours - it really was a great time. Steve and JD went and got some flowers (those two are funny together) and Ellen, Pam and I sat on the front porch rocking while we watched the two guys work.

My in-laws arrive in about an hour and the girls have been excited all day long. Steve and I head to Chicago Wednesday morning and we are super excited to celebate our 9 year wedding anniversary!
