Baby's First Tornado!

You haven't really lived in Oklahoma until you've lived through tornado season. We rode out the worst of the storms Tuesday night in our neighbor's shelter. Fortunately for all of our family on the farm in Cashion, there is a fraidy hole at Nana's house they could hide in because they were in the direct path of the storm. All of the homes survived with damage, but the barn lost its roof and the storage buildings were destroyed. We are so thankful that God had His hand on our family through the storm...now it's time to start picking up!

Here's a link to a photo set on flickr - I've added descriptions to the pictures so you know what you're looking at.

While we were helping with cleanup out at the farm, Sammers got to meet Aunt Kim's horse Double Trouble - he loved it!

A Rite of Passage

I guess babies that grow up in this increasingly technological world are going to have different milestones than we did growing up...
Sammy sent his first text message today.

Our backyard is getting a makeover this week; we had to make sure that Sammers left his mark.

We are so excited to see how the backyard is going to look when it's finished!

My First Mother's Day!

Sammy made sure I was well taken care of for Mother's Day, even with Daddy still on the East Coast.

Beautiful, fragrant flowers...
