Minnesota, The Zoo, More of Kaitlin and Tornados












































So after having Kaitlin in our home for a week I packed up our 5 kids and headed to Minnesota for our annual spring trip. Brad has to stay home and work. This years trip was a little shorter as I didn't want to stress Kaitlin out. She did amazingly well and I was so proud of her. She is a sweet little girl, loves to talk, loves girlie things, loves animals and loves to spend time with people. She knows a persons name pretty much when she hears it once or twice. We went to the zoo and she held one of our hands the whole time when walking. The trip was a good one, but it was nice to get home too. I will upload pics from the zoo. I left my main camera in MN. accidentally. :( My aunt is sending it thankfully. So, the pics I have are only from the zoo and more recent events here at home. Most people who read my blog know we had many tornado's on the 20th here in the land of OZ. One was pretty close to our house. If I can figure out how to load the video you will get to see it! We didn't have any damage but a house 2 miles down the road was demolished. It is the picture with Brad's arm pointing at it. That used to be a BIG white house. Another mile from it two more homes had damage and out buildings are gone. My husbands uncle had a machine shed taken out and all his equipment mangles together. I should be posting pics of that too. Please pray for the people that the tornado hit. Thankfully everyone is alive and well, but loss is not easy. I will also upload some cute photo's of our girl. We are glad to have her in our lives, she exhausts me at times, I won't lie, but I couldn't think of anyone else raising her! Praise God she is home. Oh, and by the way, my 4 bio boys exhausted me more on our trip in MN. with bickering than miss Kaitlin even came close to doing!
