Hurricane, birthday & awards...

Just a little update - we're still having a few issues with our phone but we've gotten mostly back to normal from Ike. The kids finally go back to school tomorrow after more than a week off. Luckily we have power which some of our friends don't have even now. The stores are getting stocked back up to normal capacity and there isn't a line hours long waiting for gas. There are still tons of trees down all around and it's sad to see - years of growing and one crazy wind storm comes to town. Friends who left have come back and everyone seems to have fared well through it all. Thanks for all the thoughts, concerns & prayers!


Ryan turned 11 this week. His birthday celebrations were altered by Hurricane Ike (this isn't the first time - Rita hit around this time three years ago). With the kids out of school all week, we decided to get the boys together for a pool party.  They seemed to have a fun time and Ryan had an awesome day.

After his party, we drove to our old town and picked up a few of his good friends to spend the weekend - talk about an extended party!  They were in the pool day and night. 



Guess who won this....


THEY did - my favorite show (and it starts in just a week!!!)
