Activities from the first Evacuation

I will be continuing to update my Flood Journal post, so if you are interested just scroll down a bit. I don't want to get ages behind in blogging in the meantime. Right now we are mostly just waiting for the water to go away so we can see what the damage is. FEMA is saying that the houses with 8 feet of water will be demolished. EEP! I honestly don't think that will be necessary in our case, gutting the place definitely, but demolition? I sure hope not. Not unless they are having us rebuild in another location. Which I doubt will happen for us. But I have no doubt we got at least 8 feet of water. We'll see what happens and just go with it.

 So I'm doing a little back-blogging here. These are some cute pics from our first pre-flood evacuation to Grandma Kelly's. Blowing bubbles on a windy day with Autie Beth, such fun! The wind did our blowing for us, hehe.

 Reading about PUPPIES!!! Brie's bark is "Oof! Oof! Oof! Poppy!"
She sure loves books and puppies and Grandpa. She was in heaven!

 The Humane Society was taking volunteers to come walk the dogs of evacuated families, so Daddy and the girls did just that!

 This is one of the last times Brie will use a sippy cup. Soon after this she decided that she didn't want anything to do with them. She's a big girl and will drink from a big girl cup and that is that. She's done quite well overall, but still has some messy moments. But who's complaining, really?

Chelsea sure enjoyed walking the dog. Ah, maybe someday. Someday in the DISTANT future we will be able to get a dog. Maybe. First comes a house. ;)

Too bad we don't have Poppy anymore. They would have loved him! But he wouldn't have loved living in the camper, and Mom and Dad wouldn't have liked him in there either.

What a fun thing - walking the dogs. Reed would be in heaven doing that. I'm like you - MAYBE someday we MIGHT get a dog.. :)
