Four Generations

My YiaYia came into town this week to visit James for the first time. (She lives in North Carolina and it's hard for her to travel). Any ways, she came with my Aunt Phyllis and we had a good time. Although I did get a little annoyed at times because it was so draining to have them here, I'm really glad they came and got to see James. Here are some pics:

(James was laughing at my Dad banging on Adam's head LOL)

Any ways, Adam's birthday was yesterday and he is now the big 2-5. He had to work which was no fun, but thanks to my good friend Rachel who babysat James, we got to go to dinner and a movie last night. We went to see Max Payne. It's not my kind of movie but it was still pretty good. I'm glad Adam got to do something fun for his birthday. :-)

Our Beach House and New Pics of James

It's been too long since I blogged. A lot of people know that my family has a beach house so I just wanted every one to know how it fared thru Ike. The good news: it's still standing. The bad news: we need to do A LOT of clean up. My parents were able to go there one day a few weeks ago and it was pretty bad. They dug through some stuff and it was infested with bugs and snakes. We are going to go down there after there is power and water to clean up. My biggest fear is finding a body in all of it. Here are some pictures:

This used to be our side yard. Now, it's just a pile of rubble. Btw, that's not our paddle boat (well, I guess it is now, but it wasn't before).

This is my mom pointing at the water level downstairs. She's just over five feet tall, so the water got to about 7 feet.

This is my Dad's boat ON the dock. Also, not our white chair before the storm, but if it's in good shape, we'll keep it!

This is how my parents found the downstairs. Obviously, it wasn't this way before the storm.

On a lighter note, I have taken some really cute pics of James!!! There is one of James @ the park and one him on his new toy!!!
