Well, the hurricane hit about a week and a half ago. We stayed for the storm. It wasn't too bad, really loud and just a little scary. Our lights went out about 3am and Micah woke up about 4am. Just as Micah was going back to sleep, Sam woke up at 5am. We then figured out that we had a leak in the kitchen, which just lead to all of us being awake. The boys kinda liked having all the candles and getting to use a flash light until the sun came up. We did not have a generator, so we decided to go with Mom and Dad to their place in the country. Wes took us up there and got Dad's generator so he could run the frig and a few other things at the house.
The boys had a great time in the country. So many new things to explore...
Lots of dirt to dig...
(I couldn't get this picture to turn)
And a really cool park, where they loved the rock more than the slides. 
They especially loved the small hill that was perfect for racing. 
BeBop introduced the boys to the longhorns that live next door. 
And Rueben keep the boys busy. We had few problems with Rueben because he loved to chew on the boys. Especially Micah's hands, he chews on them like it is a hamburger patty. But I think they still love him. 
Thank you BeBop and PopPop for taking care of us during this crazy time. We had a great time! We love you very much!!! We got our power Tuesday afternoon, so Micah and I headed back home and Sam stayed in the country for a couple more days. We got the yard cleaned up and tried to get back to normal. Thanks for praying for us, we were really blessed with little damage.
Please keep praying for our area. We have several friends that still don't have power. We have had 4 people staying with us and lots of friends coming to do laundry or eat dinner so they can be in the cool for a little while. It is going to take a while for Houston to get back to normal.

your parents place is the perfect place for little boys! Looks like that had a great time. I'm glad y'all are back and getting back to normal. Logan, Camryn, and I can come to the plate party, so we'll see you next week!
hey friend! I am so glad that you are ok and back at home! That is so great that you were able to go to your parents!! We need to talk because I will be coming to Dallas soon!!!
Glad to finally hear from you. I was wondering what you guys were up to. Boy, it sure is weird around here after Ike, isn't it? School starts Monday for us finally.. sorry to hear about the leak in your roof.... my inlaws just got power today and they were very ready for it....
Don't know if it will ever feel like normal again, but this has made me really thankful for the part time job I got. I am ready to get back to it. It was nice to enjoy sometime in the country too for us, so I am glad you got to get out and see the country too. I think little boys were made to live in the country, don't you?
I am so glad you guys faired will through the storm. You are so brave for staying. Sounds like your trip to the country was just perfect...and I LOVE that wild hair on the baby as he ran down the hill. God is so good for blessing us with families to keep each other company and take care of us.
