We went over their house and watched on the news as the storm got closer... and then we all hunkered down in their cellar. IT WAS HUGE!! Honestly, I think that they could easily get 30 people down there, but we just had 14 tonight. We had lots of chairs down there so we just sat, listened to the radio, and visited... it was so nice to be under ground.
We have a sweet elderly neighbor lady who brought suckers down for all the kids... The best comment from her tonight was ... that she had her jewels and her chocolate with her and that was all she really wanted to save from the house... she is such a FUNNY and precious lady.
Once we got down there and tied down the door... the neighbor lady asked if Greg would pray and read Psalm 91... It was really cool, to pray, read scripture, and then just wait it out... It sure calmed everyone down and mentally gave us exactly the focus we needed... to have our focus on the Lord and His faithfulness...
We did have a smaller tornado touch down less than 8 miles from us that did a fair amount of damage to that little town... but we were totally safe. I am just glad that the threat is over for now:) Thank you God for your protection... These storms that hit Oklahoma tonight moved right into MO and Joplin... Please continue to pray with me for those poor people there...
Thought I would share a few of the most recent pictures of the kids:)

Sweetness! So glad y'all were okay! I love the thought of a cellar underground. We only have our bathroom in the hall which makes me very uneasy. Our next house will definitely have a basement! Take care friend! Love you!
I like Levi's shirt! Love you, mary
Haha, I love Levi's little chubby chin Aunt Sara! Too cute, can't wait to see you all this summer :)
