Happenings of this week

Sunday morning at about 6:40 we were woken up by some loud wind beating against our window.  Right after we woke up the power went out.  Caleb hollered at us and we brought him to our room. My husband checked the weather to see what was happening.  The power flickered off and on for a few minutes and the storm seemed to pass quickly. 

When we left for church we saw some damage in our neighborhood.  After church we drove around town and saw some of the damage, like this knocked down sign.  There are uprooted trees all over town and trees falling on houses or buildings.  The National Weather Service determined it was not a tornado but many of the citizens said they saw a twister. 

That night I woke up at about 1:15 to something hitting our bedroom window.  It was hailing.  We checked on Caleb but he was sound asleep through it.  This is what it looked like outside.

We went back to sleep and then we were startled by Caleb hollering out for us.  My first thought was that he was dreaming or had heard the wind or something outside.  My husband got to his room first and when I got there he was flipping on Caleb's light.  I said what's wrong?  He said, "My tooth is gone."  I looked in his mouth and sure enough, one of his loose teeth was no longer in his mouth. 

We had tried several times to get that tooth out over the past few weeks.  It bled a bunch on Saturday, which upset Caleb, so we just stopped. 

I looked around on his bed and found this.  Caleb asked, "Is it bleeding?"  There wasn't a drop of blood anywhere.  I asked him what happened, and he said he heard something click and then felt and his tooth was gone.  I was glad we found it.  (I took this picture later to add to this post!) 

We were just amazed that it fell out in his sleep.  I guess it was ready to get out of there!  We'd prayed that it would come out without causing him problems or worry.  I never expected it to fall out in his sleep! 

He has another loose one on top too (the one I wrote about several months ago). 

Have a day of blessings!
