Sunglasses and Storms

This is a family blog but you would think it is a  crazy weather blog with all of our adventures recently! They had been predicting  DEVASTATING storms for our area on Tuesday since last weekend. I was on high alert and crazy about our preparation for Tuesday storm outbreak. Since the storms were coming again at night we kept Kaitlin in our room and set the pack n play up so she would be easy to grab and duck if it got that bad! I literally watched the weather channel all day and made myself crazy. We were spared once again but a small town to our south was destroyed by a mile wide tornado! 

Kaitlin had so much fun at our “sleepover”! She was so happy and laughed all night! We finally put her to bed in our room at ten and she was still wide awake. Kaitlin would stand up and then dive down and pretended to be asleep! Kory put her back in her room after two o clock and we were all very tired today!

My storm buddies!

Keeping her most valuable items close…She wanted to be prepared in the storm!!

Last Day of School

Today was the last day of school for Kaitlin! She was sooo excited to get in and see her Ms. Erika one last time! We have been so blessed by her wonderful experience this year. It was such a blessing to see Kaitlin learn and gain some independence.

We had terrible storms last night and Kaitlin was a trooper thru the entire night! We did not have any damage but it was a scary couple hours in our area. We had Kaitlin in our room during the 1st round of tornado active weather and she was so calm and relaxed. We finally put Kaitlin in her room to sleep after we got the “all clear” for the night. About an hour later an area of circulation came out of nowhere and we start hearing tornado sirens. Kory sprints upstairs and we all huddled in our tiny bathroom. I heard loud “pops” and did not know what I was hearing. Kaitlin was not happy to be awake but she never even whined or cried. We are so thankful to be safe and are preparing for more storms tonight and later this week!

Kaitlin slept an hour later after all of last nights excitement but she was ready for school!

We are both very sad about the year ending but are excited for a wonderful summer!

Hard to believe this was Kaitlin at the beginning of the year. They really grow up TOO fast!

Sisters and songwriters

We were driving back home to NWA and met up with Aunt Rachel at her favorite breakfast spot, Bread & Company! It was such a fun visit with lots of catching up with the recent graduate.  My sister just got her masters degree in counseling and has been working so hard. I am so proud of her!

Rachel always sees the most fabulous famous people in Nashville and this visit was no exception! We were right next to Brandon Heath, an amazing Christian singer. He looked so normal and even used his real name for his order. It was “So Nashville” to be so close to a real star and it made breakfast even more fun.

Rachel and Kaitlin are the cutest pair. Kaitlin was so great at breakfast and was so excited to see Rachel

A documented hug!

We love you Aunt Rachel!! Thanks for such a fun breakfast!
