Tornadoes and things
May 11, 2008 The Story of My Life
The sirens kept going off earlier but the storms went right by us and on out towards Delaware. Noah was very nervous but in that enjoyably nervous way where it’s all exciting. Both kids huddled on the couch with their favorite blankets but Madison kept hopping down to get more toys.
Pennie is coming over for dinner and Madison is deliriously excited about it. Yesterday in the car she said to Noah, kicking her feet, “Aren’t you so excited about tomorrow?” He said, “What’s tomorrow?” And she trilled, “PENNIE!”
She decorated some candles for her and then colored two pictures — one for me and one for Pennie. She said, “Because you are both mothers for mother’s day. It is for mothers and she is my birth mother and you are my mommy.”
She cleaned her room this morning, too, so that she and Pennie can play in there.
It’s making for a nice day even though I’m here working down here instead of eating peeled grapes because I’m back on-site for the next two or three days and need to get ahead on some stuff.

I’m glad the tornadoes passed you by and family is safe and very happy. Madison is so adorable, even in print. PENNIE!! LOL
Happy Mother’s Day to you Dawn and to Pennie. You’re both awesome and inspiring moms.
