Cute things, sad things, exciting things

Austin had this white undershirt on today, and I thought he looked so cute in it.  But trying to get him to stand still for a picture was next to impossible.  I did get these two shots.

Yesterday was a very sad day for many people.  I cannot believe the pictures on TV of the destruction in the southern states from all those tornadoes.  There were tornado warnings in other areas of our county last evening as well.   Dick and I discussed where would be the best place for us to go in such a circumstance.  We do not have a basement, but we do have a concrete crawlspace under our house.  What a terribly scary thought.

Also, Reverend David Wilkerson was killed in a car accident in Texas yesterday.  He was the founder of Teen Challenge, World Challenge, and Times Square Church, author of The Cross and the Switchblade.   A man of profound faith, conviction, and influence.  My dad always followed his ministry closely, and it's so weird how I feel like I need to tell Dad about David's death.  I wonder what it's like over there when people meet each other. 

I'm so excited for this weekend.  The big annual benefit auction will be held at Manheim Christian Day School where I taught for so many years.  It's the most looked-forward-to event of the year.  I know I'll get to see so many people we seldom ever see anymore, including some of our very family.  I'm sure I will have lots of pictures to post next week.

There are other things I'm excited about too, but they will need to wait till next week too.   

So is anybody getting up early for the big wedding in the morning??  Not sure that I will.  Five hour nights just aren't good enough for me anymore.
