Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

I know... cheesy :) Anyway, it is about time to do some remodeling around here starting with that banner. All the photos in the banner are of Marshall when he was around 3 months old. Now that he's a big boy we need to do some updating. So, you may find some broken links or pictures while I get things updated so please be patient :)

BTW.... We came out of the hurricane fairly unscathed in our area.

Hurricane Irene

Seriously... first the earthquake on Tuesday and now a hurricane??? No one told me the rapture was coming early :) As of 9:30 this evening we're getting some pretty steady rain and a little wind here in Central Jersey. My house is about 5 miles from NYC so it is anyone's guess on the impact here. My office building is in downtown Manhattan, which had a mandatory evacuation today so we've prepared for the possibility of working from home for an extended period of time.

I was going to start posting this week about some of the stuff we've done over the past month but I'm not sure if I'll have power tomorrow or, if it does go out, how long we'll be without power. So my great return to blog-land may be delayed.

The Marsh had to take inventory of our hurricane supplies...


Marshall


He finds our selection satisfactory.

My husband had to report for duty with National Guard around 8:00pm this evening so The Marsh and I are having our own little hurricane party with the putties. When I spoke to him they were bunking in the Armory and then heading out to the evacuation shelters in the morning.

Freddy getting ready to leave earlier this evening. Marshall is actually starting to recognize when we leave so he was not happy when Daddy walked out the door.

We'll return after the hurricane clean-up!!

Soon to Return....

I hope to be back posting regularly soon since we survived our East Coast earthquake today.  Nothing like learning that your employees don't listen to instruction when told we have a designated meeting place and to not use the elevator during a building evacuation... But what can you do?

Marshall has been up to a lot over the past few weeks, including his first camping trip!  He will be 10 months old next week.  I can't believe he'll be a year old in 2 months!

Until our return... A shot of my sweet little angel... When he's asleep that is :)
