Quick Catch Up!!!

It's been since Patrick's surgery since I've updated.

Patrick is fine. Came through with flying colors. Hopefully that will make the winter easier on him and less sickness.

We spent a fantastic week at the beach with my mom, sister and her family. It was amazing. Since I'm lazy, link to Christina's blog on the right and you can see pics!

School has started. The girls are in LA4. They ride the big bus with Patrick. Patrick is in 1st grade and doing wonderful. Rob is in 8th grade. He made 1st string on the football team!!! That is a major accomplishment. He works very hard at it.

Now we're preparing for Hurricane Gustav. They have evacuated a couple of the neighboring parishes (counties for you non-Louisianians). But the base is really encouraging us to stay here. If it continues on the path it is on now, it will come straight through Fort Polk. But it will have been over land for a good amount of time and that will hopefully calm it down.

I was all prepared to get some cool pics of a hurricane. And my father called me last night and told me I am not allowed to go out and take pictures of it. AND I am not allowed to threaten my children and tell them I'll put them out in the hurricane if they misbehave. He is just NO fun! LOL. Funny part is I never told him I was thinking of taking the pics, he just knew I'm crazy enough to do that!

Don't know if we will loose power. If so I'll be out of contact for that time. Hopefully it won't be as bad as we are preparing for!

Say a pray and wish us luck!
