We Survived Hurricane Dolly

Popcorn and a movie, anyone? This was before we lost power but the storm was raging outside. So the kids were cozy in the closet!

The Flintstones and no power. Praise the Lord for batteries!

S. is showing the base of the tree that fell. Thankfully, this was about the worst of it!

We are free from the closet!!! Yay! (Notice the tree in the back ground.)

This was after a couple hours of the storms sitting right over us!
Thank you so much for your prayers! We cannot even begin to say how much they mean to us. We are quite aware of how protected we were!

Power over the Wind and Rain

E. continues to keep his feelings of nervousness in check. It is evident that he is trying not to act on those feelings during this time of anticipation as we wait to see if Tropical Storm Dolly develops into a hurricane.

We are thankful that we know who ultimately has power over the wind and the rain.

Please pray for E.'s continued comfort and peace at this time.

Weather Video

E. loves watching the weather. He is so intrigued by the power that God displays through the elements! So, he wanted to make sure you were connected...Check out his link to the Weather Channel video clips. Its located on the side bar! Hope it is interesting and helpful to you.

This picture was sent to us by Uncle E. Thanks!

Remember When...

What Flavor is Your Milk?

In this house, the kids got milk. The question is, what flavor is it?

Chocolate?

Dulce de Leche?

Strawberry?

Just plain white?

What flavor is your milk?

I chuckled this morning as I realized their wanting milk first thing in the morn was just their way of greeting the day. As I enjoy a fresh cup of joe in the morning, they appreciate their milk. The flavor of the day is strawberry and we choose the Nesquik powder because it touts that it has 25% less sugar.

Go get ya some!

Butter, Yummy, Butter

"Butter, yummy, butter;
I think I'll have another!"

Happy Belated Birthday, E.!!

E. celebrated his 8th birthday on June 22nd! I cannot believe how quickly time flies! E. continues to appreciate weather and planning cities with his matchbox cars and wooden tracks. He also enjoys playing SimCity 4 where he can create cities and play the role of mayor! A budding politician? or city planner? or weather man....? We shall see.

PS Thanks H. girls for the great cake design!!!
