Hurricane Gustav






We are so thankful that the storm was not as powerful as feared. We still had many trees down in our neighborhood and lost power for a night, but we are grateful that our family members and our house made it through without problems.

On the bright side, the Parnells were able to evacuate to our house so that we could turn it into a FUN weekend! As you can tell by the pictures, many girly activities were enjoyed by all. We did a bunch of painting, ballet, dress-up, and of course hair salon! Elise and Quinn had so much fun together that we were worried about what would happen when the Parnells had to leave to go home! They did return home yesterday, fortunately to a house with power and without damage. We can't wait to see them again!

Quinn's First Day of School


Quinn started school last week. She is now in the 3's class, and she goes three mornings a week. She is really happy to have Mrs. Virginia, and she has enjoyed seeing all of her school friends.

She is learning about all the letters, and came home the first day saying, "capital A, little a!"
