Hurricane Irene
I posted about our earthquake, but I forgot to post about hurricane that went through here a couple of weeks later. If you haven't been to our house, the picture below wouldn't mean anything to you.
This is what it looks like normally. This is a trail leading to a path behind our house. Keep going and then you'll find the stream. It's about a football field length from our home.
I just like the fall flowers...it has nothing to do with the hurricane :)
Back to the storm...Here is my neighbor, Marji, sporting her umbrella hat...she sure sports it well!
"Non smart" people standing at the bank of the flooding rapids. They are standing on the walking path that disappears in the water.
Bumper to bumper traffic in our neighborhood. All the surrounding roads were closed and there was no way out.
A leaky ceiling...great! I guess it could have been much worse!

I thought we left the dogs at home?
You are the only other person I will let de-fur his rear ;)

Mr C's boo boo
Like any almost-2-year-old, Mr C has had close encounters with the driveway and sidewalk. I'm surprised it's taken this long, but just the other day, his knee finally bore the battle wound. It wasn't a deep cut...just a mild scrape that a little water and peroxide will take care of. It didn't even need a band-aid, but we put one on there for good measure. I thought C was a ham before, but this takes the cake. He has been extremely dramatic with his boo boo. We will put him down on the ground and tell him to walk to us and he just kneels pointing to his "injured" knee. When he does actually walk, he starts limping. Clay and I were cracking up so much, we decided to shoot a few videos to keep the laughs for time to come. Sometimes when he started limping, he would get distracted and forget that his knee hurt and then started walking normally. Enjoy the drama...we certainly did!
