We made it! I'm sure you may have seen it on the news already, but SpamTown was hit by a large tornado last night around 8:15pm. We only suffered power outage until 4:30 am; however, Alex was up all night babysitting the sump-pump which requires power otherwise we'd have a swimming pool in the basement. He went to work a couple hours later and they sent everyone home...so off he went to Home Depot.
He's become quite the handy man (with assistance of course) and busy today installing a battery back-up on the sump pump.
The twister hit the north side of town (only a few miles from our house). We saw the cloud forming which was eerie...but not as eerie as the hurricanes in Orlando. The country club where I work suffered a lot of damage with trees down everywhere and a rising creek. No fatalities were reported thankfully, because the park was demolished and the leagues were out there last night. Guess that's the end of kickball for the season!

We're due for another round and I hear Georgia is getting some heavy storms too.
So stay safe and thanks to everyone for their concerns!
Evan has a had a few more rough nights adjusting to his new bed; however, wouldn't you know he slept all night last night...not one peep and not one night light (except the only flashlight we had lighting off the hallway!) This morning I heard him whispering so I entered his room to find him propped up on his pillow engaged in reading the "Little Engine That Could" I'm pretty sure he was having storytime with all his stuffed animal buddies...wish I had the camera!!
Hopefully, Alex & I will get a good night's rest tonight and luckily it will be Friday soon enough!
Here are some more pictures from the news...
