New Things Around Here...

In the last few days, we had a few things happen. Mostly, Ryan and I have been at home resting from our trip and playing with all the toys we've been missing. But Kris brought home our new car on Wednesday!!! We ordered our Corolla in July and finally got it, actually it's been at the dealership for 3 weeks but since Kris had to pick it up it just sat there. I think it's so exciting to get a new car. Of course, now it's sitting at Kris's work again because he is in Toronto - actually on his way home right now.

The second thing, was we had our first family tornado warning! Yes - a blast. They interrupted the tv shows around 10:40pm to tell us about the upcoming weather and the sirens went off around 11:15pm. So after I got the radio, candles, a blanket and the popazan into our basement storage room (it was either that or the bathroom!) I went and got Ryan up and took him down there. Our power never went out so we listened to the tv and sat in the dark (with the candles burning) until the warning was over. Ryan thought it was pretty strange that I would wake him up at night and make him sit in the basement, but was relatively calm and went back to bed easily. It actually didn't start raining here until around 2am and then it was coming down in sheets and the wind was horrible. Actually I should go walk around the house to check all the siding and pick up Ryan's pool toys that are scattered in the backyard. But in the end - we're ok!!
