Another Tornado

Since I am updating the Blog- I thought I would share this pic of the kids playing in the front yard while the electric truck from Pennsylvania fixed the power. The tornado was about three weeks ago, and hit about 2 miles from our house. We were out of power for three days. Thanks to Mike and our generator we were able to keep the frig running. When the power did finally come back on, I went crazy cleaning the house. It is amazing how much dirt you do not see when there are no lights on at night.

Starting School

Molly started Kindergarten last Friday. So far she has cried every morning. Today, Finn and I went to the school to have lunch with her. She introduced me to her friend, Emma- who she "loves". However, she is in the other class, so Molly only sees her at recess. I was relieved to see that she does have a friend, because every day Molly tells us that no one plays with her. She knows how to lay it on thick for Mom. Ha! Dad will be taking her to school for the next two days so maybe things will settle down. Finn starts school next week- He cried today because Molly told him that she doesn't like Wall-e! Yes, his love for Wall-e is that strong. Hopefully he will not be so emotional when it comes to school.

Running Away!

Wow! The summer is going by so fast. On Thursday I ran the Race Judicata with Jill. Ok- I ran and Jill walked. I finished in 28:02 and Jill finished in 1:00:02. Almost as close in times as Michael Phelps' gold medal finish last night in the 100m butterfly. Ha! Well, we are off to Galena for a little getaway with friends. The weather this weekend is suppose to be perfect for "anything" so enjoy it!!!!
