Come On Irene

Hurricane Irene has hit Baltimore! We lost power around 3am and it stayed off for the next four days. It also blew down several trees in our yard. One took out part of our deck. All in all I think we made it out in great condition. Lots of trees down in our area and some landed on cars and houses.

Did You Feel That?

The East Coast was rocked by an 5.8 earthquake. The epicenter was just below D.C. and it was strong enough to send to send everyone out of their offices, shops, and houses. All asking the same question. Except for me. I didn't feel anything. I was mowing the yard at the time.

Putting the Tooth Fairy Through Her Paces

Gabbie is dropping teeth left and right. She lost both of her "two front teeth" in as many days. If this pace keeps up she won't have any left and the Tooth Fairy will be bankrupt.

Super 8

We just back from the beach and what does Weslie want to do for her birthday party? Swim. I swear I can't get this kid out of the water. However, watching her swim just puts the biggest smile on my face. She seems so natural and at ease in the water. It's hard to believe that she's turning eight. I miss my little Weslie, but she turning into a beautiful young lady.

Beach Time

We made our now annual trip to Myrtle Beach. Traffic getting down there was terrible, but the warm water and great beaches more than make up for it. This year Brian was no longer scared of the ocean and Weslie loved it so much we had a hard time getting her out of the water. I thought she was going to turn into a Mermaid. Also, being at the beach and poolside is a lot more relaxing when everyone can swim.
