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!!!
