Raise The Roof...


The girls enjoying a few moments in Dad's chair. Thinking about it now, I should have soaked their britches in leather conditioner while they frolicked around!


"whatcha talkin' 'bout Mom?"

Allie deep in thought...or watching Noggin...same look either way!


Some pics of the storm damage from last week's pseudo tornadic* experience!





* not confirmed at this time that there was actually a tornado on the ground but as you drive around the neighborhood and see the 30 year old trees uprooted and 80 foot electrical transmission towers twisted down on themselves...one has to think that wasn't just wind. My family and I are very grateful to only have suffered minor cosmetic damage. We lost some roof, a fence and a days worth of electricity...but we are all safe. Much better than what we thought was going to happen at 3:30am! If you live in "Tornado Alley" and you do not have a weather radio, please go and get one. They operate on battery backup and send out a loud alarm when threatening weather in imminent. Our alarm went off a good 4 minutes before the outside sirens blared letting us know to take cover. That extra 4 minutes could mean the difference in getting to shelter and not. Please go to a store and ask for a NOAA Weather radio...

Hi! You girls are just adorable. My youngest twin is sitting on my lap with a funny smile right now. LOL He already likes girls.

Glad you survived the "tornado". I know how that is when they don't confirm the darn things, but you know that is what it was. Can't wait to read more of your blog!
