Storm party

Once again, the weather is attacking Oklahoma. We're seeking shelter with some of our favorite people - Scout and her moms! Here is Maggie buried under a pile of girls. Keep in mind, they aren't scared. They're, as Mia would say, "so super excited" to be hanging out. By the end of the night, we weren't the only one to show up at our friends' house because of their basement. There were 11 dogs, 9 adults, 3 children and a cat.

Devastation in Moore



There's so much that's unclear, but one thing we do know is that a tornado that was a mile or two wide demolished hundreds of homes and tore through two schools in Moore. Children have died. It was all south of us, thankfully, but the scope of the pain is unbelievable.

The photo above was taken outside one of the schools that was hit. The photo below is of Mia and her best friend, Scout, in the safety of Scout's house. Our friends Maggie and Christine picked up Mia when they got Scouty from school. They have a basement; we don't. They also protected them from hearing about all the horrible things that happened.

We are so grateful for our safety and especially thankful that Mia was protected through it all. My heart breaks for the parents who cannot say the same for their sweet babies tonight.
