Ike

It occurred to me that not all of my friends and family are here in Texas and that some of you might be concerned about our recent stormy visitor, Ike. We are far enough inland that we were not too concerned and we had recently removed our only dead tree from our back yard. However, with Steven and Katy off on their adventure, the other kids and I did stay at my parents house. I am glad we did, by the look of my yard when I came home it would of been a long night for me. All along my back windows were broken branches just laying there. We all made it though just fine and we never lost power at my house at all. My parents only lost it for about an hour. It was right at nap time so we all just took a nap.
Life is just about back to normal now, except for all our coastal friends filling up our town. I try not to complain when I go to the store and there is no bread on the shelves. Knowing that I am not stuck with my entire family in a hotel room living on peanut butter sandwiches helps. Logan has a boy from Houston in his class right now. I just can't imagine what it is like for all those people not even knowing how their house held up. Anyways I just wanted to tell everyone that we are fine and not to worry.
