I have to say it was really great seeing Darren again and awesome meeting you. I really hope my kids didn't wear you out too much. I wanted them to spend as much time with Darren but didn't want to overwhelm you. The third is technically here but not yet. So yes I have 3 kids but just don't have her in my arms yet. Not sure if I am ready for that yet. Only about 6-8 weeks!!! YIKES. Ephraim said Darren promised to come to our house..... When was he planning that??? I didn't think you guys were coming through here. My house is a major disaster area right now with unpacking the car last night and going right to bed. So if you are coming on your way to Owen's I really HOPE you call with at least 2 hours notice. LOL. LOL. LOL. If you meant sometime later on after you get to Oregon that's totally fine. I know you guys will be back for visits. As far as having the party in the yard I told mom that might be a little much for you. But she said it was OK. So I am sorry that it was overwhelming. Well i better go so that this doesn't get too long. Glad you had a good time. Hope your trip is great and uneventful for the remainder. I feel HORRIBLE that we said Tornadoes don't ever get that bad. This is actually the worst I have ever seen one! We tried to check out damage but they wouldn't let us into the towns. But www.kcci.com has some videos and pictures if you want to see them. There is also a video of the actual tornado. I know you wanted to see one but really it was better where we were. I am glad God blessed us with it going North and not actually hitting Winthrop. I did not want your first trip to Iowa to be like that. LOL. I also did not want my kids first tornado to be when they are this young. Ephraim is a little scared NOW over it because I sat him down and explained to him that it was not ALL fun and games. he has been playing Tornado this morning. Another reason to CLEAN. LOL. So I showed him the footage and he got scared. So hopefully this will help him in life. I do not want him growing up to think Tornadoes are just fun and you can go chasing them or watch them in the yard. LOL. Well I better go. Keep us posted. Have a safe trip. laterz. Jodi
