We had an uneventful trip to West Des Moines this morning. The girls were very good and we had lots of fun. After naps we went to the mall for a fantastic pretzel and a little play time. Tonight we went to On the Border for a nice meal. Very fun.

We are looking forward to our trip to see Fran and Jim tomorrow. Meghan and Peter will be there. It is a long time since we have seen them Fran told me today that there were tornadoes around Springfield today. So glad the Kimani's are fine.

I heard from Father Larkin today. He is very excited about having bought his first bed. He said the matress he sleeps on is about 25 years old and the springs are sticking up throught the top.

Thank you God for our safety today.
