First piece of news, we have survived Hurricane Irene! We are really, really lucky that we just had minimal flooding of the basement...nothing major that we can't take care of ourselves. The wind and rains were unbelievable. I think that we had close to 10 inches of rain during the storm. Somehow, the boys slept through the major part of the hurricane while I anxiously woke up several times to peer out the window and check the news station. I was all ready to head down towards the basement, if Chris didn't convince me that waking the kids is the last thing we want to do. Sadly, most of our town didn't make it through the storm as well. Much of the town has had terrible flooding and much damage has occurred.
In other news, recently, we had a wonderful visit from my sister, Jen, and her two kiddos: Clem and Tal! We LOVED seeing them and are VERY, VERY sad that they have decided to move to Indiana from the Bronx to pursue a new teaching job. We were so lucky that they stopped to see us for a few days before they took a new step. We enjoyed some shopping, a few attempts at making quilts, and lots and lots of craziness!!!!!
Aiden and Clemmers-not the best picture, but it's no easy feat to get these two to stand still together!
Playing in the sandbox...
Tal and Andrew, our little baby boys...
Slide fun...
Swinging together...
Getting ready to head on a walk...
And I'm so excited that we actually got a decent picture of the crew!!!!!
We miss you all SO much!!!!!
