I have been very neglectful!
I know I have been very neglectful keeping up the blog. If you come back later be sure to go further down because I have a few that I started some time ago and their just not ready for publication. I think when they are posted they will show up on the date I started them.
Yeah, Happy birthday Clee, Mom, Mark, Galen, etc. I have also neglected putting posts up for those I will try to do better next year. There will be pictures of Clee's birthday in my post about my trip to Florida to follow. There will also be pictures of Mom's birthday to follow. So check back if you want to.
I can't make any promises but I will try to do better.

Tropical Storm Fay
garage, Emme was being a big help watching the boys
while Mom and I dealt with this problem, thank you Emme.
The water was still rising
See tools, paint cans etc. that were floating around
Nat decided at this point she need to get the cars to
higher ground.
Fiel's cousin Alex and his wife Brittney came to our rescue
That's them with Nat after they had been getting as much water
as they could out of the cars which Nat had gotten to higher
ground earlier. The van with a little help from me (not much) and
some nice neighbors. It had died half way up the driveway, needless to
say it was out of commission. One had helped me push the van out of the
driveway and then three or four others showed up to help.
Of course they were all strong young guys in their 20's and
a 57 year old fat woman just couldn't keep up with them so I
told them I couldn't keep up, thanked them and went back to the
house with the kids. They were super nice as they couldn't even
get to their house as the road was closed.
Alex and Brittney came to our rescue again they brought
us pizza, a cooler with ice, a 12 pack of Diet Coke (of which
I was in desperate need), some cookies, and some much needed
towels as Nat had used every towel in the house trying to dry
out the vehicles earlier. (Oh and did I mention the power was
out, BONUS) So there wasn't any cooking, opening the refrigerator,
washing and drying of towels, watching TV, etc.
Nice huh? Luckily the house was much higher
than the garage so no water got into it. I think
we have Alex to thank for that too.
Way to go Drewbee!!!
Here I am reading while the kids took a break from
playing games and putting the puzzle together. It was
a very long day of trying to get things out of the water
in the garage and entertaining the kids with no power.
Thankfully the power stayed on for some of the clean up,
poor Emme trying to keep the boys entertained and in
the house was extremely difficult, especially since Clee
could see all that water but couldn't play in it.
This is after we got as much up as we could.
Gettin the trash can up was definately the worst.
stairs you can see a frog trying to get out of the
water for a bit too.
Renee, paying us a late night visit. They also came
bearing gifts. Thank you girls.
