Yikes, IKE! ... not so happy birthday Lance!

Well we survived IKE. We were without electricity for 5 days and still dont have both phone lines back ... but we had no damage to our house whatsoever!!

I think we were most upset about a dead tree we lost that "our" bald eagle would fly and land on every night ... we haven't seen him since we lost that tree. BUMMER!

Lance and I appreciate everyone's prayers as well as the sweet calls and texts we got checking on us. It all happened on Lance's birthday!

Here's a pic of the kids during our time! :)

I love Jackson's face here. Last Sunday - Daddy was swinging him and Jackson was leaning back a little too far and flipped off backwards off the retaining wall where our swing set is ... needless to say, many tears, ace bandages, and x-rays later - he has his first broken arm and cast. Poor Jackson. When I ask him to try and move it a certain way - he'll do it with the uninjured arm and say "there. I did it."
