Tornado watch (updated)!!

My sister just called from Winnipeg to let me know that Kitchener is under a Tornado Watch - as I sit typing away up on the second floor I keep thinking of what I would need to bring to the basement if so needed;
-makeup box
-photo album
-quickly finish this post...
-run to main floor and get Addie
-purse
-basement!
-camera - hey if there's a chance we might get a tornado wouldn't it be super cool to get a picture??

(updated Monday morning - No tornado here, though we did have a nasty thunderstorm. Reports of funnel clouds north of London, ON)







So now the real reason for my post! We enjoyed some visitors the other week -my sister Michele, her husband Scott and our niece Jackie. It's been 5 months since we last saw them and it was so neat to see the interaction between the girls! They are kind of playing together - still mostly doing their own thing, but side by side. We enjoyed a day at the park, played with the animals at Waterloo Park, visted St. Jacobs and saw some Old Order Mennonites in their buggies - cool!! We also enjoyed the MCC sale and all of the wonderful foods that come with that! Plus we went to our local pool a couple of times - the girls just loved going on the "little slide" though kept pointing to the bigger slide which looked much more fun!
We really enjoy spending these times with family, as so much of both our families live far away from us, and we don't get to see them as often as we like - so we really cherish the times we spend together!
Anyways, lots more pics of our time together, go to our pictures (up on the top right) and go to the "Mikki and Scott" album! Enjoy :-)

I find it hilarious that the first item on your tornado checklist is your makeup!
