He did not get home until 10:15pm the night of my birthday. His senior manager said they will be working until at least 11p.m. every night until the fund it done.

Walk for Babies (America)

We participated in the "Walk for Babies" event last Saturday and walked 5 miles with Emma and our friends, Joel and Melissa, and their two kids. It was a beautiful day and was a lot of fun!

New pictures of Emma!

BIG STORM!!

We had the biggest storm last night that I have ever witnessed! We woke up to what sounded like the whole city shutting down when our power went off last night at 3:45a.m. I looked out the window and yelled for Luke to come look. It honestly looked like we were in the middle of a tornado. I have never seen the wind blow so hard. The power was off until 4:30 p.m. today. I had to get some ice to put in a cooler to keep some things refrigerated. I was afraid everything was going to spoil. I gathered some pictures from the Internet of the damage, but it does not do it justice. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow and upload them. There are trees and signs ripped out of the ground, power lines down, stop lights bent in half, fences ripped up and blow everywhere, and large pieces of sheet metal from covered parking areas lying everywhere, etc. It is crazy!

Box Fort!

We made a big box fort for Emma to play in and she loved it!

A Weekend With Family

Matt and Erica flew into Dallas on Thursday. Emma warmed up to her aunt and uncle right away sand just loved being with them! We hung out in Dallas until Saturday when we all drove to Houston to hang out with Mark, Andrea, and Josefina. We went to Brazos Bend State Park and saw a ton of big alligators. We ate a lot of great food and had a ton of fun together. We were sad to have to leave everyone and go back home. It is a lot of fun when we all get together and we wish we could do it more often. Matt and Erica currently hold the championship for our Bache Ball tournament. Luke and I will purchasing a Bache Ball set so that we can practice up for when we are together next. Emma and Josefina had a blast together. They carried on their little conversations and danced the night away!
