September 10 on 10: Lisa

About 1:30 a.m.  Didn't have any intention of starting the 10 this early, but this guy got sick and ended up in bed with us for a bit. 

9:00 - left for a doctors appointment while Jacob was feeding the twins. They both LOVE anything with cinnamon. In this case they're eating oatmeal and pears with cinnamon. 

10:00 - seeing a hand specialist for my wrist. Unfortunately, it still is giving me several problems. 

11:00 - still waiting but am getting a chance to study in detail the anatomy of the wrist. 

Between 10 and 12: Jacob watched the boys while I was at the doctor's office. While I was out our new furniture came - the server and 6 of these dining chairs. Sooo excited!

12:30 - home (finally) from the doctor. Colin can't make up his mind if he wants to be a "big boy" or a baby again. He regretted this choice the moment he wanted out. 

1:30 - Zachary could barely fight off sleep at this point. He failed about 2 minutes later. 

2:30 - hanging out with Clancy while the other boys sleep. Watch out ladies, he's already laying on the charm pretty thick!

3:30 - This guy is getting to be a pretty good sitter. 

About 4:30 we went under a tornado warning and about 5:25 it was heading right over our city, so we took shelter in the basement. A tornado touched down in a nearby neighborhood and damaged several places including ripping part of the roof off a house and splintering/downing several trees. Don't worry, Alyssa won't let a little tornado get in the way of her style. 

Colin, "the blur," showing a trick on his scooter. 

The novelty has worn off. The Natives are starting to get restless in their restricted quarters. 

While we were home riding scooters and eating fruit snacks in the basement,  Jacob was stuck in this mess. Ugh! 

Here is the house nearby that was hit. My friend who lives on the next block sent the photo to me. Way too close for my taste, but grateful no one was hurt. 

A rather dramatic end to the day but grateful we are all now home and safe.
