Crazy Sunday!!!

Wow! Today was sooo crazy! Okay, we just had one HUGE crazy event. Most of the day was normal - church, lunch, laundry, the usual. Dusty and Dad worked on installing our new screen door. It was a bigger project than they expected... it took about 6 hours but they did have an interruption. It looks great!!! I'll have to try to take a picture to post. I know Cayson will love being able to see out better since this one is all glass. Thanks Dusty & Dad!!! I know it was a pain to install.

After I put Cayson down for bed around 7 pm, I heard someone yelling "House fire!" I run out to make sure it's not my parents' house and smoke was billowing out of a house 3 doors down.... not the band 3 doors down... more like 3 houses down. I run in to grab my camera, of course, and Dusty calls 911. The lady who lived there got out with her three dogs, but everything in the house will probably be gone. It makes you really think about what's important in this world... not material things, but where we'll spend eternity.

Here are the pictures I took... the newspaper editor asked me to e-mail them to the paper so they may be in Tuesday's edition.
The crazy firemen - Robbie Penner and Chuck Meyer- fighting the fire without their gear!

The smokeDad sitting with the lady and her 3 dogs! You can still see smoke in the background coming from her house.I love the colors of this picture.

Here's what I saw when I ran out of the house... my camera was accidentally on video so it started shooting a video instead of pics. Kind of neat though.

A side note, Cayson slept through EVERYTHING! Dad was banging on the door frame with a hammer, we had sirens everywhere, and fire trucks with their lights parked on our street for hours and not a peep out of Cayson. What a great kid!
