Hurricane Ike

We were ready for hurricane Ike. We boarded up and hunkered down.

But we had a lot more damage than we were expecting! The wind and rain was so strong, we think we might have had a tornado.
So our dining room that we had turned into a study started leaking at 3am and then the ceiling fell through!
Insulation everywhere.
More ceiling fell later.
Carpet soaked.
The entire ceiling fell in that room.We lost some furniture, our fence, lots of shingles, and had water damage in several rooms. The neighbors lost more rooms than we did.

So we went to Waco when the power went out. Brianna had fun with Tanner.

And riding the 'tractor' with Aunt Sharon. And playing with Kyler.
And Uncle Chris!
We got to go watch Chris coach Tanner's soccer practice.Now we are back home, the power is back on, we are cleaning up the mess, and dealing with the insurance company. :(

We are thankful that everyone is okay and that Brianna slept through it all!

10 Months Old!

Brianna is 10 months old today! She is doing great! She is crawling all over, saying ma ma ma, da da da, dancing to the music (it's so cute!), and she is taking a kindermusik class! We are having a lot of fun!
Gig 'em Aggies!
She's trying to pull herself up but hasn't done it yet.
Miss Personality. :)

Here she is trying on a coat for Gigi.
Enjoying a bottle from Gigi.

Labor Day Weekend

We went back to Weimar, Tx for labor day weekend again this year with our good friends Heather & Stephen! Thanks to Stephen's parents for letting us enjoy their beautiful country home!
