howdy!!

Well as is going well in Houston...just about everyone in our family has power as of yesterday!!! Only one family member had real damage and her garage had a tree fall on it (she also does not have power), but other then that, all the other damage wasn't too bad. thanks so much for thinking of our family.

we have taken tons of photos this week, but I have to say we have been so busy I just haven't gotten around to uploading them. But Dave surprised with me with a new devise yesterday that automatically uploads pics from my camera to my computer wirelessly!!!! so here are a couple pics from today!

Sweet Lauren...she isn't a baby anymore is she??? :(

My puppies...Houston and Katy!
Jackson and his best friend, Isaiah. Who is spending the night tonight and they are still up as I am writing this. Jackson has been waiting for Isaiah to come over and spend the night for ages(which is only a couple months), he asks almost everyday if he can spend the night :)
That is one happy little boy I have! He is so wonderful!

Ike Update

well all is not 100% in Houston, but all of our family is ok. My brother found out an hour ago that he has electricity at his apt, while no other family members have it. Hopefully power will be restored for everyone soon. no one had any major damage, which is also a praise! my brother told me today that Houston looks so weird and different now. He also said that the pizza place across from him is open, which he now considers a luxury seeing that nothing is open, and he doesn't really cook! :) thanks for thinking of our family and praying for us.
