Whitlock Shenanigans

When we decided to move to Colorado a few months ago one of the definite selling points was that we were going to have a temple built in Fort Collins.  It was announced in April 2011.  A couple of weeks ago they released an artist rendering of what the temple will look like.  I might be a little biased, but I find it to be one of the prettier temples that I have seen.  I look forward to it being built and I hope it looks exactly like the photo below.

It seems as though every family has that one kid who can sleep anywhere. Maddie is our Sleeping Beauty and we have the pictures to prove it.

Yesterday morning, Monday, April 16, Maddie and I were upstairs and I was watching Fox news.  They began reporting on the destruction of the tornadoes that ripped through Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska over the weekend.  They showed some footage of a tornado.  Maddie happened to be looking at the TV and asked, "is that a tomato!?", I replied, "yes", not really thinking too much about it.  She immediately starting running towards the closet.  I quickly explained that it wasn't here that we were ok, there were no "tomatoes" outside.  Poor girl, she watches too much news with me.  :)  Dave says I've got her as paranoid as I am.  Her "paranoia" comes on the heels of a storm two weeks ago that caused 17 tornadoes to touch in the DFW area.  Maddie was watching the news with me as we kept track of the storm.  What can I say, we need to be informed and prepared and I'm just teaching her.  :)
