Of tornado's, crawling, teeth, and more.....

So apparently Omaha had a tornado last night. We never heard the sirens, we slept through them. Though I was awake with Ryker when it was about to hit, I never noticed. It hit way west of us, but took a roof off and threw trees into houses, uprooted some even. Bad thing is, the tornado came at the front of the storm, so there was near no warning for those in the path. Normally the tornado drops at the end of a storm, or maybe even in the middle, but not likely at the start. I pray those affected get back on there feet soon. Praise the Lord, nobody was injured.

Ryker started to really crawl two days ago. Now he thinks that if he has that down, he should start pulling up on coffee tables and exersaucers. Please dude, enjoy the crawling for a moment, just for our sake, please? He also head butted a rocking horse tonight, gave himself a shiner. But, you should see the rocking horse!! kidding.

I think he has another ear infection, so I might have to get him in to the doc tomorrow. We will see. The cough is back to, I hate to hear him suffer so. One nice thing about a sick baby, is that the normally active mover, likes to cuddle, even took a nap with me today. Really nice I thought.

Jacob lost his other, top front tooth tonight. Eating cheesecake of all things. He told me not to worry about the money, he knows the fairy is me. Thanks bud, a couple bucks in my pocket for now, but a dream lost for one child. So now I spose Christmas, Easter, and all else is out the door. Poo, why do they grow so fast?

I talked to a great friend of mine Friday for the first time in months. She has three kids, a step son, and a foster daughter. Her hands are full. I have three and I don't know how she does it. I miss her and I feel rotten for not seeing her newest addition. Her daughter Ryan is five months old, and I haven't met her. Yet, her oldest daughter is 8 and I was there when she was born and often during her younger years. I hate that time does that to relationships. Where you once had the time to be there for all of it, first birthdays, weddings, babies, then time takes and you just don't see those people as much as you should.

I am frustrated with my church today. I can't even say "My church" because I have been going for over a month now and just don't feel the bond I thought I would. At first, when it was new, and we were new, it was great. People reached out and welcomed us, but now that I have been several times, they just don't. I also feel it being clicky when I was hoping for something far from that. And tell me why, when I ask two dedicated members, including the pastor's wife, why I can't find a bible study to join? I mean seriously, they can't even tell me where I could find one to be a part of. I am reaching out here, trying to deepen my belief and better my life and I have been dropped at the wayside.
I am going to try a different one next weekend. We will see what that brings. I don't go to church to sit and be preached at, I go to feel a part of and feel moved.
