Benjamin at DIscovery Park, Houston. almost 8 months. Isn't he a cutie???
IN response to a question: Are we still alive? Yes we are... but just trying to survive. We have been so busy lately, that it’s been hard to keep up with everything, hence the lack of blogging for a month or so??? (Maybe two). Anyway--- here is a quick update. Sept 11th Robert and I self evacuated to Wichita KS to avoid IKE (it was a little stressful when we were heading out, because gas stations were closing because they were out of gas, and we were almost on empty... bad I know, but we finally found a place and filled up). We stayed a couple of days with my friend Susan Thurman. Then we drove all the way to my parents to Wichita (Which by-the way- they were having flash flooding in Wichita. My parent’s home was ok... but talk about a “bout” of natural disasters all at once). We stayed at my parents for about a week before returning back to Houston. We were waiting for power to be restored. Luckily, our apartment was still intact, and we had no water damage or damage to our personal property. (Although it seemed like all of our neighbors had work done for some kind of water damage). We don't complain and feel blessed that everything was ok). About a week after that, my friend Susan came to visit us from Fort wroth. We had a lot of fun with her and her two little boys. Benjamin loves Owen and parker. Parker is about 3 months older than Benjamin and they have lots of fun together.
After that everything seems like a blur. We have spent a lot of time with kiersta and her kids, busy with church, rob interviewing for jobs, rob was really sick for a couple of weeks (he’s feeling a lot better now) and then there are the nuisances of everyday life and trying to get back in the regular routine while playing catch-up. I honestly don't know where October went! I will try to be better at posting! Anyway, here are some pictures from the past months. I will have to continue my post about our trip to Canada later…
PS> Milestones update for Benjamin: He started crawling while we were in wichita, and the past week he is now pulling himself up on everything.... he learned that from watching parker and just mastered it this past week.
My parents, benjamin and I in wichita.
Benjamin Driving to Fort Worth Texas. The day we left Houston to avoid IKE. This picture was actually taken in a corporate Business parking lot outside of Fort Worth. Notice benjamin has no clothing on? we were trying to save gas by using no air conditioning. After about 3o mins we gave in and turned it on.
