Not-So-Scary Thunderstorm

Early yesterday morning as the rain came down and the thunder rolled, I kept thinking how wonderful it was to be in our nice, cozy bed at home.  

Maddie has been sleeping in her own room, but every night around 1:00 or 2:00 she comes to our room and gets in bed with us.  

I loved that we were all together and I could listen to the rain and thunder and not fear for our safety at the same time. 

Now that I think about it, it didn't even occur to me to be scared.  

Must be a God-thing!

"thanks Jesus!"

Speaking of the bed...

I have been trying to establish a new morning routine which involves making the bed.  

As Maddie was "helping" make the bed yesterday, I had to grab the camera.  

The first time I've "grabbed the camera" for a little impromptu photoshoot since the tornado!

The light was gorgeous, highlighting the brushfield spots in her eyes, one of the many beautiful features her extra chromosome has to offer!

I really want to frame these three as a set and hang them above our bed.  

Another change I'm making...only decorating with photographs, artwork of a different kind :)  

I promised pictures of the new furniture, but I was an a bit scatterbrained, preoccupied and left my camera on all day and all night and completely drained the battery...nice.  

So, I promise pictures will come (hopefully tomorrow!!)
