Well, we did evacuate to avoid Gustav but we've returned. We went to Little Rock, Arkansas which under better circumstances would have been a neat place to explore but we were exhausted and worried and really didn't do much other than sit in front of the tv hoping they would tell us that the hurricane was really not that big of a deal. When we returned we were lucky enough to have electricity, water, and no home damage, although the back yard was a huge mess and we still have a neighbor's tree stuck in one of our trees.
We're keeping an eye on hurricane Ike and hoping that he fizzles out or goes somewhere else.
On the baby front, so far he's happy where he is and is not looking like he'll be showing his cute face any time soon. I went to the doctor the day we returned, Wednesday, and she reported that nothing had changed. I'll go back next Wednesday, Sept 10 and I'll let you all know if there's any change. I guess the room and board along with the 24/7 buffet is just too much for him to give up to join us out here but we're hoping he'll decide it might be worth it soon.
Since we don't have any baby pics yet, you can enjoy the mess that was our yard (although compared to many people, it was just an annoyance more than anything else).
If you look closely, you can see the large branch going sideways in the middle of the cypress tree - we're going to have to go talk to the neighbors because so far they haven't budged to address this little problem and it's too dangerous for Keith to attempt to take care of it himself.
