Ice Storm 2009!

Once again, almost exactly six years later, another ice storm has hit central Kentucky. Once again, we were not exempt from the wrath of that ice storm. Shawn and I were both out of school this entire week, getting to spend lots of time together with the kids. On Monday, Shawn and Caitie were both sick with the crud, then I caught it on Tuesday. On Tuesday night around 9:30, we lost power and it just came back on today (Friday!). We've been crashing at my parents house ever since our escape on Tuesday. We had company on Wednesday when the Yahr's joined us because they lost their power as well. They were fortunate in the fact that their power came back on later that afternoon. Be sure to check out our pics from the ice storm on our Flickr page!

Happy Almost Birthday

Today, well not too much longer, is the little man's 10-month birthday! I can't believe that we are rapidly approaching that first birthday! It seems like th time is going by too fast.

He's up to all sorts of no good on a regular basis now: he babbles Dada like a champ (no Mama), he crawls so quickly he beats us out of a room, and he loves table food. He's even started getting the same lunch at school that Caitie and I have. Pretty soon he'll be walking, and I am so not ready for that! Actually, I think Buffy and Caitie are more worried about that one. Caitie actually shut Colin out of her room the other day so she could have some "alone time." Colin stood up and banged on her door. Only a few more inches and he'll be able to reach the knob!
