WAITING FOR IKE...

Because we are the shining example of excellent parenting, we thought the kids might enjoy playing outside in the wind before Ike really arrives. The kids got their scooters and zoomed around the circle as only tropical storm force winds were present. Does anyone think we'll win the 'parent of the year' award?

If you want to thank anyone for this terrific storm visiting us, please feel free to thank Parker! He's been wishing and hoping that a storm like this would head our way so he can experience what it's like to ride out a storm.

Noel stopped just for a second to pose for this great picture. She's been a great help in keeping the twins occupied as we've been getting houses ready etc...
