Not much time but wanted to update!

So Adrianna's test results all came back normal and the doctor thinks the swollen lymphnodes were from the mosquito bite on the back of her head! If they get any bigger I am to take her back in. Kiersten I think has an ear infection but of course there were no appointments at the clinic so I couldn't get her in. She keeps complaining but I am going to try stuff at home to make it better!

Adrianna had her 8 year pictures taken today. As always she did great! She loves the camera which is why I wished that Jody or Joy lived close by but the lady that does them here is great too and the kids love her! I am attaching a slide show of those pictures at the end. She also had her birthday party today and that went great. Almost everyone that we invited came minus a couple of friends that are really sick right now! She got so much nice stuff. Her room looks so different with all her tinker bell wall stickers and her new bookshelf we got her to put all her snowglobes and pretty things on. She also got a new rug but we haven't put that in her room yet! It is one that should take up most of her floor. I will add pictures from the party later after I get them on the computer!

Yesterday was interesting to say the least! We managed to go through a tornado without anyone in the neighborhood getting hurt but there is quite a bit of damage. We lost the part of our fence that is a privacy fence as did a lot of our neighbors. Jon had to go around the neighborhood to find pieces of it to put at least the bottom half back together so we could left Daisy outside without her running away. The neighbors across the street has a broken window and there are lots of building with missing siding. Most of the trampolines in the neighborhood are very damaged, including on that went from the backyard to the frontyard and into a window of a vehicle. That trampoline is now completely in pieces! We are just praising God that no one was hurt in all of this. Not sure I can say the same thing about the girls little play gym with slide. That thing is so hard to take apart but it ended up in pieces when it flew from the backyard into the road but I am still hoping we can get it back in one piece!

Tomorrow Justice gets baptized. I am so excited for him to take this next step of faith! He loves God so much and is not afraid to tell anyone! I just wish more people in this world had faith like him! They are supposed to take a picture for us and hopefully our friend shows up so she can take pictures too!

And then there is Monday! Our first day of school! I am getting more and more excited about teaching the kids and just wish that day would get here! Well, good night everyone and I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Aww, those pics are sooo cute. You can really tell she loves the camera.

HOw is the schooling going? I salute you for being willing/able to do that. I would definitely go out of my mind.
