Future Mom and Dad




If this is any indication of their future parenting skills, I think they're gonna turn out all right!

Nonnie and her Drake babies



Nonnie never seems to end up on the picture side of the camera when the grandkids are around, so I couldn't resist posting these pictures of her and the Drake children at Chuck-E-Cheese.

The Flood Zone


Fortunately we live on the high end of our subdivision, up on a hill, but the other end is in a flood plain, which we've never seen flooded until now! Both entrances to the subdivision are so flooded that cars can't get through. This is one entrance, right behind our house but down a hill...
On the end street farthest from us we watched a guy walk out into his front yard in mid-thigh water! Check out the mailbox, it's about to be under water!


This is the other entrance to our subdivision. Two cars stalled trying to come and go and had to be towed. A firetruck blocked things off for a while. If your here in a car you literally can't leave! And if your not here yet, don't plan on getting home tonight! 6th Street is very flooded too!
The worst part... the rain isn't stopping any time soon. If Brant hadn't been home this afternoon I wouldn't have been able to leave to get the kids from school! Fortunately his Jeep is tall, but if it keeps rising he won't even be able to get out!

Mom's New Ride


Well, here I am on my scooter! It goes real fast (as fast as my right leg can run!) - even has hand breaks (and I've had to use them!) I've been for two "rolls" at lunch, and haven't fallen over yet! 4 weeks and counting!

The Ocean




Okay - so, that went well, but I ran out of room on the picture adding part, so here are some pictures of the ocean. Love you! Mom
