Hurricane Irene and Nana's Birthday

Luckily we were spared any serious damage from the hurricane. We had lots of limbs down in the yard and the power flickered, but that was about it. The girls actually ventured out in the hurricane to play with Luke next door neighbor. We got them all bundled up and Andy ran them across the yard. Emily wanted to take her blanket, but didn't want it to get wet, so she wrapped it in a blanket. She loves that blanket!

My mom was already here before the hurricane hit because Andy and I were planning on going to my roommate's wedding at the beach. Sadly the hurricane prevented us from going to the wedding. (Mandy was one determined bride and moved the wedding inland some and still had the wedding!)

Mom lost power at her house, so she stayed until her power was restored. Ashley also lost her power, so she can down with her girls. That meant we could all celebrate mom's birthday with her.

Charly just tackled Sarah when it was time to say Goodbye. Sarah thought it was hilarious!

Happy Birthday Nana!
