"ALEX"

We are preparing for Tropical Storm Alex, probably Hurricane Alex by the time it gets here. Jason is currently in Biloxi, MS for an Inundation GIS Conference and could be sent over to Lake Charles, LA for back-up of the Brownsville WFO. For now I have stocked up on what is needed for Evalyn and myself, yes I had to give in and actually purchase baby food. Jason will let me know if he feels like we should leave and head to San Antonio or Houston area...or somewhere in between..College Station.

We will probably go stay with my parents and sister and her kids. My dad has a generator if we needed it like we did during Dolly 2 years ago. Not to mention the gas grill.

We ask for prayers not necessarily for us, but for the people that don't have everything available to them that we do during the storm. Also pray for Jason that he has peace of mind while working and not to worry about us.

Me and My Dad

This was me hanging out with Dad after a nap.


I put Bunny in the picture at the last second!


Snuggled up with Dad.

But, I don't want to smile.... Dad helping....

Pushing Up

Hi! Look at me pushing up on my toy and trying to crawl over it!

Oops, looks like Mommy caught me!

Sleeping or Escaping?

I walked in to peek at Evalyn during a morning nap last week and this is what I found.....




Did she fall asleep trying to escape? :-)

Needless to say since she is sitting herself up now (and trying to pull herself up every so often), her crib mattress has been dropped down.

She is on the move!

Evalyn is officially mobile! She is on hands and "knees" (which also happen to be toes too). She is very interested in checking out toys on the opposite side of the rug in the living room. Her world is opening up more and more...and my "free" time is rapidly shrinking! No more posting photos or updating videos when she's on the floor free and ready to "move about the cabin."

There is another video posted on our YouTube page also
