Everyone is Okay

Had a pretty bad storm come through last night and we all headed to the basement about 12:30am.  At about 1am when the worst of it had passed, we discovered that our River Birch had split and part of it was on the roof over Paul's room.  Needless to say, we stayed the rest of the night in the basement until the tree slid down the front of the house about 6:15am.

Damage around the city is very spotty.  Some places look like nothing happened and other places look like our street, which was hit very hard.  Lots of trees uprooted and tons of branches everywhere.  The cupola came off the top of Jefferson School too.  Power has been out since last night and we currently have no estimates on when it will return.  We are at Mom and Dad's now, eating lunch, taking showers, and charging the electronics.

Our plan is still to head to Minnesota tomorrow.  Hopefully we can all get to bed early tonight as we really didn't sleep much last night at all.  Thankfully, everyone is okay!

Celebrating Ruby's birthday

Khuslen's best friend Ruby just turned 4 years old a few days old. Her parents set up the bouncing house for the kids. Khuslen loved bouncing so much in it. Since I have not tried the bouncing house before, I jumped in it. Now I know why the kids love to jump in the bouncing house. It was so much fun.

 Another favorite part of her party was a face painting. Nowadays, Khuslen loves to pretend becoming a puma cat. Therefore, he asked the face painter to draw the puma cat on his face. This is Khuslen's first face painting and he loved it a lot.
Хэдэн хоногийн өмнө Хүслэн хүү дотнын найз Рүүбийнхээ 4 насны төрсөн өдрийг тэмдэглэлээ. Рүүбийгийн аав ээж нь үсэрч болдог хийлдэг байшин захиалсан байлаа. Хүслэнгийн хийлдэг байшинд шавайгаа ханатал үсэрч дэвхцэж тоглолоо. Би ч бас зүгээр байхаар гэж бодоод  хийлдэг байшин дотор дэвхцэж үзлээ. Би өөрөө үсэрч үзсэнийхээ дараа яагаад хүүхдүүд их дуртай байдгийг нь ойлголоо. Мөн тэд нүүр буддаг мэргэжлийн будагчин авчирч, хүүхдүүдийн хүсэлтээр дуртай амьтдыг нүүрэнд нь будаж өглөө. Хүслэн хүү зэрлэг бар зуруулъя гэж хүсэлт тавьж будууллаа.
