Hanne and Lindsey Donna and Steve come for a visit!

I am off of work for a 4 day weekend!! How bout that!! Yesterday was a day filled with more thunderstorms and tornados, again! Tom was at school yesterday while I was at home and he called to make sure I was okay, I hadn't even turned the TV on yet, I was busy reading my new book. He told me that there were tornado warnings in Murfreesboro and he was stuck taking cover in one of the buildings at school. It turned out that there were just bad storms here in Nashville, but in Murfreesboro there were several tornados that touched down... He made it out okay but there was a lot of damage all over that town and I will be praying for everyone that lost their homes yesterday...

I guess that's why I am thankful that Donna and Steve and the girls were running late yesterday...they weren't caught up in the bad weather, unfortunately though they were caught up in bad traffic. Their 10 hour trip to our house from Disney turned into 14!!! They made it to our house around 1:45 am for a rest from the road.

Lindsey was sound alseep when they got here, cuddled up on Donna's lap. We had the dogs outside and when we told her they were coming in she woke up with so much energy... She has an incredible love for animals. She had a great time throwing the ball for Shirley.

I think Linsdey was ready to take Riley back to Wisconsin with her!!!

Hanne was pretty sleepy and shy but it really was good to see all of them. Hopefully next time they will be able to stay a little longer. 2:30 am they were back on the road headed to Madison. Steve really wanted to get home, which I don't blame him they still had a long drive ahead of them and it is so much better to just be home after a long vacation like they had.

Spring-urgh!!!

Spring sports are here and that means that I am going crazy!!! There are so many games scheduled over the next month and half that I don't even know how they are going to play them all...and that means that making plans for myself from now until school is out is pretty impossible. What does that mean...I am a big ball of stress!!! Some days I think I am going to be done early and I find out at the last minute that something is rescheduled...like tomorrow...6:30 baseball game, yippy. Yesterday everything got rained out.

I am getting excited though...Thursday Donna and Steve are stopping by Nashville on their way home from Disney with Hanne and Lindsey...Its going to be so nice to have company down here. I am getting pretty lonely. They are going to be the first of several visitors. Mom and Dad are coming down in the middle of May and Patrick and Soumya say they are coming at the end of May.

The last couple of days I haven't been feeling good, not sure if I am fighting a cold or allergies... I have never had a problem with allergies but I guess people from Tennessee have a problem with the pollen down here???

We got an email from Lisa today...She sent us Ultrasound pictures. They did the 3D thing, those are pretty neat...she is getting closer and closer...I can't wait to get up to Chicago to see her baby bump at the shower...also it will be nice to get out of Nashville for a couple days.
