Tornado Warnings

-


As a resident of the Middle Tennessee area, I have grown accustomed to tornado watches and warnings (thought I can't for the life of me remember which is which).  In early December we had some pretty intense tornado warnings in the north end of Sumner County.  It was about 10:00 p.m. when the meteorologist announced that people in our area should take cover.  Even though both Michael and I have been in the eye of a tornado (which caused pretty extensive damage), Michael refuses to get our boys out of bed and go to our safe zone.  When I saw that the new was singling out our road, I broke protocol and went upstairs to get Will.  They least I could do was go get the baby - the only member of our family that sleeps upstairs. After all, it was a really bad storm.

Well, Michael was right (as usual). The storm didn't touch our home and we could have left Will snoozing safely in bed.  But, even though I was technically wrong, I still came out the winner because I was able to hold my sleeping baby on the couch for a few minutes that night.





He has such nice eyelashes.

I wanted to take a picture of my birthday present from Judge Howard.  He and I are both "Community" fans.  Judge Howard is the Troy to my Abed.  This is a great gift!

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
