Ike

Winds up to 60 miles an hour hit yesterday. Power went out during our church service and when we were on our way home we could really tell the wind was picking up. When we arrived home there was a HUGE limb and many small branches down. The huge limb hit the chain-link fence between our house and our new neighbors. While we were looking at the damage in the backyard, Hannah almost blew away!
Today I tried to take Andrew to his doctor appointment, but the office was closed so he didn't get weighed or get his shots. =( I'll have to try and call later on this week to reschedule.
When I got back home Josh, Hannah, and I worked in the yard removing the branches and the huge limb. (while Andrew slept safely inside) Thankfully it is like 65 degrees outside and there is a slight breeze. It was great for doing yardwork.
Another HUGE BLESSING is that we have power (electricity)! We are the only house on our street. I believe half of the city is without power and the news report is saying it will take 10-14 days to restore power. Once again, we are SO BLESSED to have power!!
Schools have been closed today and tomorrow and hopefully Seminary will be closed to so we have have Josh at home.
More updates and pictures of the storm soon...
