We left about 3 am Friday morning, May 8th. As we were about 6 hours out of Houston, Heather called to tell us about the tornadoes that had been in our area that morning....about 5 hours after we left Springfield. Everyone's power was out, so she didn't know the extent of damage around our homes. We continued to Doug and Wendy's but kept in contact with family and neighbors throughout the next couple of days.
We arrived at Doug and Wendy's at around 3 pm. Wendy had gone to pick up the kids at school, but Doug was home and showed Gary the house (he hadn't been to their new house yet). When Wendy and the kids got home we got in the pool.
Micah had a baseball game Saturday morning, so we all went to watch. Micah did so great. One inning that he was pitcher, he caught a line drive then threw it to first to get the runner who had left for 2nd. Double play!! He got another out by throwing to the 1st baseman and getting the batter out. He got a hit, but unfortunately it went straight for Doug (who was the coach pitcher) and knocked him over. After the game Micah said "I got three outs and hit my dad".
Then Saturday afternoon we swam, and that night we ate pizza and let the boys open the gifts we brought for them, from us and their uncles, aunts and cousins. Lucas had some friends over for his birthday party the first weekend in May. Micah will have his party and cake next weekend. This is the birthday cake Wendy made for Lucas.
Lucas wanted Wii games for his 10th birthday:
Micah wanted a suit for his 7th birthday:
Mother's Day was a great day at church, then we took KFC home for lunch, then we swam, then we went out for supper at Texadelphia. (Great cheesesteaks!)
My grandkids, my daughter, and myself on Mother's Day:
The Bischoff family says HI!
Good to be home.....not good to have to leave this family we love so much.

I love how in the picture of you, Wendy, and the kids that you and Wendy both have your heads tilted the same way. How cute! I'm glad you got to spend Mother's Day together.
