Happy Birthday, Brian!

Today was Brian's birthday! Poor guy, it was a fairly crazy day devoid of any celebration! We awoke to the remnants of Hurricane Ike. It rained and rained and rained!! The water was flowing over the road between our house and church. In our seven years of living in this house, we have never seen that happen! This picture was taken late in the afternoon after the water started receding!


When we got home, we found our sump pump was not working right. So, Brian and the boys put on their old "yucky" clothes and went down to check it out. It was an easy fix and now it is working better than it ever has!

So, what did the birthday boy do this afternoon? Watched football and napped (still in his "yucky" clothes)! And he was quite happy with doing that! Now he is well rested and ready to cheer on his Steelers tonight! By the way, we are planning a celebration at a later date when we won't have to "float" to town!


Jacob got a tiny baby Moses in a basket today at church. Lizzie quickly claimed it as her own. It is a tiny little thing. This afternoon she went outside and was "baptizing" Moses in the puddles in the driveway! It was pretty cute! Here she is drying him off.


Some of you have asked about our house. It is still on the market. Luckily, the one we want is still on the market too. Brian meets with our realtor tomorrow. We are thinking about pulling it off and calling a contractor about making changes to this house. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
