WIRELESS!!

Alex is off his monitor! Yeah! I am so excited. I think that he sighed a sigh of relief when we took it off and has slept almost solid since then. We are all glad, and are feeling surprizingly comfortable with the absince of it. Really the Dr told us we could take it off, but the company hasn't retreived it, so if I can't sleep, I may take the crutch while I have it, but i don't forsee any problems. Glad to be Wireless.

Tornado

Well we had a bit of a scare today when we were at the Drs office. We were just about to leave, we were just waiting for the shots for alex and we would have been done and on the way home if little miss Tiny bladder haddn't peed twice already! Anyway, the nurse came in and told us that we had to go down stairs into the corner of the basement because there was a tornado warning. Apparently, there were sirens going off outside that we couldn't hear, and many mommys up set that their toddlers were being woken from their naps. I was a little worried as we booked it down stairs and met with every other person in the 3 story building. About 15 mins or so later they cleared it for us to go back up stairs. We went back, got the shots and headed home. As we were nearly home, Less then a mile. Right on our own street, there were camera crews and emergency vehicals out on the road. Some gagage was distroyed with all the cars inside, and other dammage ie trees down etc.. It was scary for two reasons, one, that it was so close to home, but two, we could have been driving right there had we been 10 minuets ahead of schedual. Had Brent a little worried when he did the time calulations and realized that we could have been in it too. At his school they had all the students go down in the basement for 45 mins! They were more on the go then the drs office I guess. Kind of a thrilling day! We are all well, and surpizingly only one guy was hurt and he was at a golf course. It brought back memories of the one that touched down in picture butte a while back while we were in Lethbridge for the day. Crazy how things happen. Isn't that exciteing though???

Auntie Tracey: Have you heard when tornado season is and how long it lasts? Pretty freaky to have a "touch down" so near your house!
Grandma Tiffany: Glad you are all OK. I didn't realize that was tornado country.
