Hurricane Gustav

We got spared by Gustav. We just got a little scared with some tornado warnings but we were thankful my parents flew in from Belgium the day prior... They had lived through one typhoon with us in Okinawa a few years ago (we had to stay indoors for 3 days!) but it is still stressful when you don't know if something is going to hit you or not...

The girls were stir crazy in the house but they had fun wearing the flower girl dresses from our wedding. My Mom brought them to us. She had them fitted for the girls. We did a lot of games old and new and were able to get out of the house late afternoon to show Pappy and Maminou around.



Mike finally took over during the weekend and is excited about his job over there even though he misses us a lot. We get to speak to him on the phone every now and then and we communicate via email or Google Talk which is nice.

Tomorrow is an exciting day for Claire since she is starting preschool at her new school!
