New Bedroom Furniture & Decorations

As previously mentioned, we've redecorated our bedroom by finally purchasing some furniture, putting up drapes and getting a new bedspread - the whole works! We have not 100% completed it (still have the drapery rings and tiebacks to put up, along with the bedskirt still to arrive) but we're getting close. We also have a twin-sleeper chair that is on order for the one side of the room, but that won't be in for another 5-6 weeks or so. Pictures are below of the major pieces of the room - we're quite happy to have gotten this far!

A few months ago, central Florida had several tornadoes rip through that were probably about 20 miles away from us. In order to be "prepared," we have a NOAA weather radio that is set to alert us if there are any tornadoes in the area - and we've promptly then forgot about having the radio until Thursday night when we were woken up out of a dead sleep TWICE to tornado warnings. Luckily they were again probably about 20-30 miles away from us, but it scared the daylights out of us to be jarred out of a sound sleep to realize that we may be in danger. Amy got up to roam around the house, looking out the windows for the tornado only to realize that there wasn't even any rain or wind at our house - so we were quite fortunate. Why do tornadoes seem to come at night? :)

Lastly - we had some friends over today for Sabbath lunch, and quite by accident Luke D and Zachary ended up wearing the same shirt (thanks to Grandma Connie for their first birthday presents!). They also both ended up on Rob's lap reading a book - although Luke was not too pleased to be sharing his Daddy's lap! :) Thought that this was a cute picture of the two boys in their matching shirts!
