Hurricane Lily

Well we survived the Hurricane and everything is fine at our house. Lily and I got to go and see Mo while we waited patiently for the power to turn back on. Mo was excited to have us. She was sad that she was not going to see Lily in September, so it worked out in her favor.

We stayed in Amarillo for 3 nights. Lily was of course spoiled some more and was allowed to get into everything she wanted to. Can't wait to see Mo again for Halloween.

We were then on a plane to Austin to see her aunts. We took Aunt Roo out for her birthday dinner. We were staying at a hotel in Austin and low and behold we had a fire alarm sounding at 4AM. That was nothing but fun. Lily was outside waiving to everyone that was walking by. She was like gee mom thanks for waking me up to come out to meet new friends. We had a stroller ride around the parking lot at 5, and Lily decided at 5:30 she was tired and it was time to go to sleep. I thought for sure she would be sleeping in, but she was ready to go and see Aunt Lou, so we got dressed and went and saw Leslie and Lily's cousin Norman. He is the big white guy pictured below. He is a gentle giant, and can sure sniff out a dirty diaper from miles and miles away.

Lily turned 10 months old on Saturday and we spent the day doing what she does best---playing and getting into things. Mom even accidently squished her little fingers in the door. It was awful. I was so sad for her. You never feel more guilty then when you are the one that causes the pain.

I am now busy planning for her birthday party. I can't wait for the big day. McF
