Earthquake!

Just about an hour ago we had an earthquake.  I have been hearing that it was a 6.2.  All I know is that I never want to feel a bigger one!  We are fine, it was just a little un-nerving is all.  Cohen had just left to go meet with a friend and I was just putting the kiddos down for a nap.  We had just started reading a book when the house started shaking and rumbling.  We have had them here before, but never quite like this.  It lasted for several seconds which seemed like a lot longer to us then it was over.  Cohen of course came right home to make sure everything was okay here at the house.  I'm sure people here think we freak out a little too easy, but when you aren't use to riding out earthquakes it can freak you out a little bit :-)  We have even had several tremors in the past hour. 
 
One thing that is funny though . . . I had just read the title of the book to the kids when the earthquake started and after everything calmed down I started reading the book again.  But before I even got started Samuel said, "The last time you read that, the earthquake happened.  I hope it doesn't do it again!"  I just laughed and said that it wouldn't happen again.  That is a powerful book, huh!?!
 
We are just very thankful that it wasn't any worse.  Thank You Father for taking care of us!
