Blog Update

Well, It took a while but I just uploaded 2 months worth of photos on the blog. So enjoy! we've been busy busy and I'm only half way done! I'm trying to avoid packing...

Tornado

Here are some of the pictures we have of the Tornado damage in the area.

I had no idea this was going on around me until the morning. We had very lite winds and I made sure the car wasn't by any trees, other then that. There was little evidence in my area of such destrcution.

The damage shown below was about 6 miles from our apartment.

Totally unbelieveable in real life. The pictues don't even begin to do it justice.

Our youth had to share a high school and middle school with their rivalry school through the end of the year.

The Schools were destroyed. I'm just so glad that schoools were out when the tornados hit, saved alot of lives.

Philip helped clean-up, but it will take a long time to rebuild. The damage is extensive.

Coolidge Park

Philip had a day off so I packed us a lunch and we had a picnic at Coolidge Park. The kids always have fun at the fountains down there.

  

The many faces of Lorelei (17 months):

  This is the same park where they held the concert for Lauren Alaina from American Idol when she returned to her home town. We loved Lauren, but voted for Scotty. (Dont' tell anyone.) 

Holding onto her belly button. Some kids suck their thumb, Lorelei just holds her belly button - everywhere and all the time.

 My favorite purchase ever - a double stroller!!
