Storm

There was a huge storm here on Aug. 24 - tornados nearby, and lots of wind and flooding. This is a house nearby us - the tree landed on it. Lucky it wasn't one of our huge trees! Look familiar Joel & Emily O.?

Family Picture

David's Mom's side of the family all got together in St. Joseph for a day...here is the attempt at a family picture. I think Jamie is picking her nose.

Cousins

We then attempted to get a picture of the 4 cousins together. (Caleb & Nathan) As you can see, Dawson wanted no part and Caleb kept tipping everyone over.

To see a better picture of the four of them, go to Rachel & Kyle's blog:
