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!
