Flood


Well, the flood consumes our thoughts and actions here in Fargo-Moorhead. Our days have been filled with activities we have never done before:
*Moving most items from our basement to the upper level "just in case"

*Searching the town for a place to buy drain and toilet plugs

*Installing plugs and bracing them against the ceiling to prevent sewage from filling our basement (that job was all Mike's doing -- great job honey!)

*Passing bag after bag of sand (Mike has put in much more time than me on that one too)

*Monitoring city press conferences (When else would you watch a city meeting on TV)
*General worry about a flood and snowstorm simultaneously

Maybe this will be the incentive to remodel the pink bathroom! Yuck.

On a lighter note, here is a picture from this past weekend. We visited Jeremy and Steph and the weather was so nice that the girls played at the park for over an hour. As you can see Lily was in just a T-shirt! The girls had a great time together (and so did the parents).

It seems like every kid loves to throw rocks on the bottom of a slide!

My mom actually told me about the new pictures on your blog before I saw them, ha ha. Sorry I didn't get you called back the other day; Emily and I were sick and things were a little hectic with Jer gone. I'm sure you've been busy yourself! Good luck, keep us posted. :)
