Our Shelter

We have been running a shelter here for the last 9 days. My sister and Mallory left Houston on 9/11 to get away from Hurricane Ike and traveled to my mom & dad's house where they spent a week. They came to our house on Friday, 9/19. We thought it would probably only be for a few days, but it turned out to be a nice long visit. We had alot of fun, but it was busy! We celebrated 3 birthdays(Matthew, Marcia, & Clay), had one broken down truck, ran one 5k, cooked dinners, took one kid to golf lessons, one child to gymnastics, one child with fever, school, work, and still managed to have a great time with lots of laughs during their visit. Matthew actually got to come and visit them while they were here. So that was good. Matthew left on Friday and Marcia and Mallory left this afternoon. Here are some fun shots from our visit.

Happy Birthday, Maf! We celebrated with Chicken Express and a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake.

These two are going to have so much fun. Abby tells us all the time that Mallory is her best girlie!


Abby is such a helper. She wants to help me make dinner every night. Here she is making grilled cheese sandwiches.

Mallory really enjoys finding things to put in her mouth. This sword was one of her favorites.

I guess sometimes a Capri Sun just hits the spot! :)

These two LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Mallory. Nathan is so sweet with her and always tried to make her happy if she needs cheering up. He had a blast running around the house and letting her chase him.
