High and Dry!!

Well, maybe not so much high ... but we are dry! After 8 or 9 inches of rain in less than 24 hours, Our house became river-front property but we somehow stayed dry!! Unfortunately, not all of our neighbors had the same luck. It's kind of strange to drive by houses and see carpet from the basements sitting out on the curbs. The water did, however, finish my tomato plants for the year ... I couldn't get out to pick the tomatoes off and with all the extra rain they took on a growth spurt and ended up splitting open. Oh well, if that's the extent of our worries, I'm not complaining!!

Riley enjoyed getting out last night and playing with Wyatt, the neighbor boy. They rode bikes up and down the sidewalk ... and for quite a while they had an audience watching from the front window. Miss Paige has discovered there is a whole new world out the windows and doors. She gets quite the giggles when they actually acknowledge that she's there too.

Another "Awwwww" moment this morning ... we were trying to get Riley up so we laid Paige on top of him in bed. He smiled, wrapped her up and they snuggled for a few minutes.

Anyway, here are a few pictures from last night ...

Watching brother ...
