Spontaneous Visit

We were preparing this week to meet my parents half way in OK City when I got a call that said "what if we came to TX and brought Catia with us?" We were excited to have Grandma and Grandpa and cousin Catia come for a short visit. The reason was for Clara to ride back to KS to attend Uncle Carl's Camp at Kaffman Musuem beginning tomorrow. It just so happened that Catia's other Grandma (Ita as we call her) was in town to transition her dog to Aunt Vanessa's house. So we, of course had to eat and get together. This moring we packed the 2 girls into the van with Grandma and Grandpa for the trek back to KS. They were so excited. It was a little difficult for Ollie to understand everything, but in the end he did really well.

Severe weather

We had some seriously severe weather last night and all morning long. Finally now it has moved away and is sunny. Another day of this and the water around our apartments would be really scary. Already it is very high. You can see the trees are submerged. We were awaken this morning to our deafeningly loud fire alarms sounding due to lightening. Actually, Damian was already up and I was awake in bed hearing the loud thunder and pouring rain. Clara was scared about the tornado warnings last night and then the weather this morning. We went out this morning and ran errands anyway. I HAD to go to the post office and buy cat food, no delaying any longer. My tomato plants were whipped around, but I think with some more structure they'll be okay.
