Alanis Crossing Adventures

On April 11th, we had a major hailstorm, with the biggest hail I've ever seen (baseball-sized)! The kids and I were home and watched in amazement as huge chunks of hail fell into our yard, and broke a few of our windows. The worst room was our dining room, which had water and chunks all over the table. Avery was a little scared but Aidan the storm-chaser thought it was so cool! In addition to the windows, we had several holes in our roof that we didn't know about (nothing was leaking and we couldn't see any damage, but an inspection revealed 21 small holes!). Unfortunately our neighborhood was hit pretty hard and most of our neighbors have significant roof damage.

A few of the moms on our block had planned a Girls Night Out that week so we went ahead with it, to take our mind off all the damage and insurance woes! We made really pretty decor signs for our new homes and it was great getting to know them better! Our kids each have several friends they love playing with in the neighborhood, and everyone was great at helping each other after the storm. We couldn't ask for a better neighborhood!
