The weather has been crazy the last few days. The devastation in Joplin is unbelievable. Those people are in my prayers and thoughts. Last night storms blew through our neck of the woods. We are fine and so is our home. There is debris near us from someones metal shed, but we don't know where it came from. Tyler and I took shelter in the Classroom Building on campus. I am thankful I work on campus and have a place to go during the bad weather. Greg was out of town in southern Oklahoma, but made it home ok last night. Other people were not so lucky. A family Greg knows has been hard hit. If you saw my facebook status, you know what I'm talking about. The husband/father is a custom cutter/harvester and was out of town/state. His pregnant wife and three sons, ages 7, 3, and 15 or 18 months, took shelter in their interior bathroom. A tornado struck their house and took them. The mother is at the hospital in serious condition, the 7 year old was found and is in critical condition, the 15 or 18 month old was taken to the hospital, but passed away, and the 3 year old has not been found. This family needs your prayers. Good friends of ours went and helped search the rubble of their house looking for the little boy last night and went back today. Please pray for the rescue workers and hope this little boy is found alive. Most of Greg's clients he has spoken with are ok, only sustained minimal damage.
On a happier note, here are pictures of Tyler from this month:
Wayne (our neighbor) got a new tractor so we took the opportunity to take pictures with it.
It's hard to get a picture with a piece of paper these days
He was helping load the dishwasher
His new thing is opening the cabinets to see what is in them
He found Greg's water jug in this one. He is very attached to whatever he can get in his mouth these day. I keep thinking more teeth will show up, but they haven't.
This morning, wearing his new shoes. We went to the Stride-Rite store to get them. They cost more than most of my shoes, but our child has a "high arch" aka a fat foot. His feet are also not the same size. The salesperson was very helpful and these fit, which was the problem we were having.
Have a great day!
