A long weekend...

Hurricane Ike has come and gone. We were so fortunate that the storm stayed to the east and all we experienced were heavy winds and rains. We never even lost power. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those Houstonians who are in recovery mode. Hopefully power will be restored soon and everyone can pick up and move forward. For my husbands sake, hopefully the nonstop news coverage will soon end so that he can watch football again.... We stayed in a great beach house this past summer down on Crystal Beach and met a few owners of some of the homes around there. It's hard to imagine that all of that has been destroyed.

So, Saturday proved to be a long day... inside with the kids. We made a few lego castles, built a tent, read books, attempeted to watch Finding Nemo, and consumed way too much junk food. Thank goodness we were able to get outside in the sunshine on Sunday. I don't know what we are going to do this winter when we have to stay inside more. One highlight of the weekend is that it is safe to say that Caleb is officially crawling. Avery and Austin like to get down on the floor with him and crawl around. Of course that usually results in someone getting too rough and someone crying... Oh the joys!

Here's a pic of Avery on Saturday. She was prepared for whatever Ike was bringing her way...
