Tornado

We woke up this morning thanking our lucky stars and realizing how lucky we are.  Last night was a bad night of storms here, probably the worst we've have since moving here.  They rolled in just after dinner and it seems like just when we thought the worst had passed, something else would pop up out of no where.  We huddled in the hallway three different times, hiding under cushions and pillows, while Jarrod kept an eye on the radar and the sky.  Gavin was such a trooper, and honestly didn't really get it.  He was already asleep when the worst of the storms arrived so we had to wake him up to get in the hallway.  He never was scared, but did ask a lot if he could please just go sleep on his bed.  How sweet is he?  

The Joplin tornado I'm sure you've all seen took place just 45-55 minutes from us.  Seeing that damage definitely makes you feel grateful!  Please keep all those people in your thoughts as they begin to rebuild.  We have storms in the forecast for the next three days, but we are hoping that we'll deal with wind and hail, and no tornado warnings.
