Birthdays, Hurricanes, and Baby Teeth (well, almost)


We spent another beautiful weekend at the beach. Aunt Lulu turned 29 so we all went to celebrate. I was a little nervous about having Kate there with all the young folks but she did great. She continues to be a happy, easy baby. I am more convinced than ever that the teeth are coming. I'm not sure why I feel that way (maybe it is my first experience with mother's intuition). The drool is absolutely constant and she must be gnawing on something at all times. She even seems just the tiniest bit irritated but only so much that I would notice. Who knows?? The storm surge caused the waves to be huge. Peyton took some pictures because he had never seen them quite so large. Too bad we don't surf! We spent most of the time at the pool and although the water was cooler than it had been before, Kate still enjoyed being in her seahorse. She just likes to be in the center of the action. I guess she comes by that naturally! We talked to our friends in Houston several times over the weekend. They were still without power as of yesterday. We should all continue to pray for everyone in Galveston and Houston who are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. We felt relieved to not be in Houston for the storm but we love it there and called it home for many years. It hit very close to home to see the news coverage and know the areas that they were talking about. The people of Houston are very resilient though and should bounce back quickly. Hopefully, they are getting as much support as they gave victims of Hurricane Katrina. Well, we're off to another week around here and still searching for a job. Hope everyone has a great week!



Happy Birthday Aunt Lulu!!
