Spring has Sprung . . .

Well, Spring has Circulated more than Sprung through Oklahoma tonight. The meteorologists don't even have any idea how many tornadoes we had this afternoon. We got to have a tornado drill here at the house - climbed into the tiny hallway closet. We haven't had to do that since the kiddos were too tiny to remember. And just fyi, that closet is much smaller than I remember it!!! Probably because my kids are soooo much bigger, but probably also has something to do with the fact that we had to share the closet with and American Girl (Chrissa), Bunny, Sadie's favorite blanket, and Luke's Pillow Pet. How it makes me wish for a basement!!! Anyway, we had some decent hail here at our house - about golf ball size. We have lots of friends that live farther south that got huge softball size hail that went right through their roof. Some other friends with car damage - mostly windshields broken and such. At least one friend that lost the roof off their home and most of the windows. Praising God that they are safe!
In happier news - Sadie won first place at Frisbee Throw in her school's Track and Field Day today. The weather for that was horrible also - it was freezing all morning and the wind was atrocious! I don't know that I will ever get all these tangles out of my hair! EVER!
She also went to visit Bro. Walter at church, because she has been wanting to be baptized. Walter says he feels confident that she understands all that she did (when she accepted Christ), and that she is ready to start the New Believers class that is required before baptism. She is on the waiting list, and as soon as there is an opening - she will start that, and can be baptized after that if she decides she's ready. She has been asking for a while now to go talk to Bro Walter, so she is really excited!
