When Ryan's gone...

1. We have a tornado warning and I have to take everyone in the basement after bedtimes...rather scary...

2. and then because of the storm I hear a giant crash only to find a huge branch in our backyard has fallen on our power lines...it bent the gutter on the house, that's how close it hit...it takes 3 days for the power co. to take it off...

3. and since it rains so hard we get water in our basement...

4. Caleb gets a double ear infection

5. It's another holiday I get to spend by myself

It's been a long week with Ryan on a SERVE project. Thankfully he gets back tonight (although he'll probably sleep the rest of the weekend). We managed to stay busy with fun activities with friends. We went to the pool, the zoo, the park, had friends over, and enjoyed Grandma visiting for a few days. Meanwhile I was busy cleaning up my backyard and was greatly blessed to have awesome friends to help me clean it up. Ryan is lucky to come home to a clean backyard...he never got to experience the mess! I was ready to put a huge welcome home sign on the entire mess!

WOW! That is one big branch! I didn't imagine it was so big! That would have been incredibly scary. I'm so glad nothing more happened. Thanks for posting....I'll work on our pictures now. :)

Of course! Nearly every time Dave is gone, we all get sick. He is currently serving with the youth group in Kentucky and I have people specifically praying that our week will be puke-free! :)

A tornado warning and giant branch mess, though, you got us beat there!
