Oh, when it rains...

Driving home last night around 8:30 the sky looked ominous. About 30 minutes later the clouds opened and the downpour started. It didn't last too long but was rather intense. I love listening to and watching big storms. While sitting in the living room I thought I heard a drip in the laundry room. Naively I thought I hadn't turned off the sink. I went into the laundry room stop the drip and hubby went upstairs.
"I need a bucket"
Ugh!
Three leaks later, we think we have everything confined, but found evidence of something LIVING IN THE ATTIC! This mornings action included calls to roofing companies, the insurance agent, and critter getters. We aren't sure if the nest in the attic is just a mouse, but with a groundhog living under the air conditioner and a Land Lobster found in the basement last week, I think we have a problem.
(I'll explain the Land Lobster some other time.)

Year 1

Frank's birthday is only a few days away. One year ago I was all a fluster with anticipation for my last visit to the Ob. We would be deciding then if I was going to have a c-sect or wait for natural labor in delivering my 27 lb child. As it turns out he was just under 10 lbs, the recovery from the surgery went better than I could ever imagined and I have a gorgeous little man crawling around my legs.


Here are some photos from a recent trip up to "the lake". I'll get in trouble for some of them in a few years, but it seems the kid just wanted to enjoy his birthday suite a little early
