The Storm Bag

We are expecting some severe storms this evening and tonight.

I was trying to help Gracen not be quite so afraid of the storms. We watched some footage on television so that she could learn what a tornado actually looked like. I was hoping that the more educated she was--and the more she knew what to do--the less fearful she would be.

She was concerned about her things. I told her that if she wanted to, she could put some of her favorite and most special things in a bag to take into the closet should we have to go in there.

The picture is what was in her bag (posted with her permission)!

--her complete horse collection (most compliments of one her favorite people :) )
--pictures of Nana & Papa and Jordyn
--some of her dog collection
--her new Bible
--one American Girl doll
--Puppy, of course
--her Panda pillow pet

It always tickles me--and warms my heart--to see what she holds especially dear.

Be safe, everyone.

We are safe. We are not far (couple of miles) from one of the hardest hit areas.It is amazing, heart-rending and awesome all at the same time. I'm sure she will post more on this later. Thanks for checking!
