My Wonderful Mother's Day

One great thing about being the only girl in the house is the over-the-top pampering I receive anytime Mother's Day rolls around. It's as if the three men get together and realize the last 364 days of burping, wrestling, farting - armpit and otherwise, adjusting of whatever needs adjusting, jokes and riddles containing all things related to poop, and non-stop action movies really must have taken a toll on poor mom..... I love my boys so much, even with the crude sounds and smells that come along with them!






And then there's always the really awkward video where they rehearsed once and then said, "Yeah, we're good. Let's just do it."

Tornado Hits Springfield

On Friday, May 8th, a tornado went through Springfield. It was an EFzero but seemed to pack a wallop anyway. We had no damage (just all our patio furniture tossed around the yard) but our neighbors weren't so lucky. Tim was at school ducking & covering with his students. Alec was at his school ducking & covering - which he said was very boring and uncomfortable. Sam got to go to school an hour late when it was all over, and that made him very happy. No injuries in Springfield and we thank God for keeping us safe!

A huge pine tree topples over roots and all.


A big tree loses some limbs.


Across the street, our neighbor's tree breaks in half.
