So for Jonathan's 1st birthday he is going to get a "new" room from us - a room only for him. I am excited to buy a few things for his new room this week - mostly taken from Pottery Barn Kids Magazine. Today I bought a denim blue paint color for an accent wall that will feature his monogram (J H L - white letters with the H being a little bigger than the other 2), and 2 big white matted frames above his crib. I am trying to pick out 2 pics for those frames...which 2 do you like? I also got some material for a new valence and today my mom bought an accent rug for in front of the crib to match the new color. I am so excited to finally give him a nursery! Pics of both new boys rooms coming real soon - we should be done with the Cars room tomorrow downstairs...

to turn on the shower water, little boys find ways to entertain themselves!! We have shaved his sides/back a little and left the top longer, but still wore a hat today :)

I got this email forward and cracked up.... A little girl asked her father, 'How did the human race appear?' The father answered, 'God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so Was all mankind made?' Two days later the girl asked her mother the same question. The mother answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.' The confused girl returned to her father and said, 'Dad how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Mom said they developed from monkeys?' The father answered, 'Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your mother told you about hers.'

So we have lived in Missouri for about 7 years now and been through many "severe weather" warnings. Well, last night was the first time I actually got a little afraid of this kind of warning. It all started with a tornado watch/warning in the evening that produced some hail, rain, and hard winds, but nothing to even consider going to the basement for. We were still planning on having our 2 nd day of our garage sale at a friends house and prepared for the early morning departure time to get there about 7:30. John and I were awoken by huge hail hitting our bedroom glass window (it is missing our screen that has a huge hole in it and I haven't got it fixed yet) at about 2 am. We both jumped up and turned the TV on after we looked outside. Our trees were leaning so far over a couple were touching the ground. The house literally was shaking. We lost power a few minutes after the TV was on (we saw there were no tornado warnings so went back to bed). The kids didn...
