Tornadoes!

May found us running up and down the stairs at all times of the day and night, with tornado sirens ringing in our ears! Alex and Andrea were terrified but started to grow numb to being jerked out of bed in the middle of the night and drug downstairs one more time! One day in May we were being warned that it was probable that we could have tornadoes like the major one that took place in Joplin. My family came and spent the day with us since we have the safest basement. My mom had heard that if more kids would wear their bicycle helmets during storms that there would be far fewer injuries.....Tyler, Andrea, and Alex took her advice to heart and put those helmets on! :) I guess Alex thought his swimming goggles were added protection....he looked hilarious!!

The clouds were rolling in....

After a scary, nervewracking day....God's promises are always true!!

Even better...a double promise!!!!

There have been a few times I felt my life looked like those storm clouds.....but the rainbow of promise has always come shining through!!!
