home sweet home

We're home! We got the news that our house had power late Tuesday night and we arrived home Wednesday afternoon. We had some landscaping damage, but only minor. We are so fortunate and we pray for all of those in our neighboring communities who lost their homes and precious possessions. Enjoy the pictures...we tried to take advantage of our "evacuation vacation."

whoo-hoo!

Great news! We heard from our neighbors and our house is fine! I believe part of our fence may have blown down, but we are just so thankful for the minimal damage. The power is still out in our area, there is no fuel (or power to pump it), and questionable water use...so we will continue to chill in Austin. We have officially named this our 'evacuation vacation.' :)

running from Ike...

Hurricane Ike is coming our way. Tim is boarding up the last windows on our house as I write to you. After that we will pack up a few precious items and head to safety in Austin . We pray that we don't spend excessive hours in the car like last time. Thank you so much to our friend Jason for taking us into his home...and his pool. :) The four of us will be safe and together; there is nothing more valuable than that.

sweet peas?

Sweet peas or elves...we're not sure?! :) We tried on the hats to their sweet pea Halloween costumes and they were just too cute. We couldn't resist taking a few pictures. Stay tuned for the full costume in October!
