Happy kids

Fisher doesn't love getting pictures taken quite yet, so it is pretty hard to get one of all three at the same time... better luck next time!

 

 

Wonderful Christmas

One of my very favorite gifts was this red Kimono for Celia from Loren's brother and sister-in-law who are stationed in Japan. Thanks!

The Tornado

Dinner was spent with the five of us (6 including Greta) sitting on pillows on the floor of our bathroom Wednesday evening, as a tornado touched down in Flower Mound and Lewisville hitting our neighborhood.

All of us headed out after the tornado to survey the damage. Our neighbors had tons of destruction; not only were very large trees uprooted from the ground, but most of our neighbor's fences came down, too. We survived with nothing but a few shingles ripped from our roof. We are extremely grateful... Thanks, Dad, for putting that new fence post in a year ago - if you hadn't, we probably would have been without a fence, now, too.

I took these that evening as I walked out our front door... I probably should have waited until daylight =)

Museum of Nature and Science

This is one of our very favorite places to go in Dallas. The kids have so much fun. I can't believe I didn't take any pictures while the kids were digging for dinosaur bones...they love playing in the sand!
