Mission Aborted

L did not complete her mission last night. She called about 11 to come home. We had some crazy thunderstorm/lightning weather and she is terrified of that stuff. She called for her Mama and her Mama came running!!!! I drove like mad to get to her. The weather was rainy and windy and stormy, my most unfavorite kind of weather yet if needed by one of my babies, I would walk over hot coals to be there (or drive through the thunder - which I am oh so afraid of!!). I got to JK's house and L was there with tears in her eyes, waiting for me by the door. She jumped in my arms and we got her stuff and off we drove home. She sat up front, squeezing her eyes closed to keep from seeing the lightning. I did feel so bad for her that her funnest ever sleepover was cut short but there will be plenty of these in her future. The weather settled down shortly after midnight. I think it was just God's way to get all my ducklings back home, where they belong :-)

Her brother was most happy to see her this morning. He woke up at 4 ready to go get her. I told him she was already home and you could see the relief in his eyes. He settled back down until 6 when she woke up. He ran over and gave her the biggest hug ever.

Now we are planning a fun pajama party for just the boys - should be tons o' fun!
