That was close

We had a pretty strong monsoon storm come through yesterday. At one point visibility was down to less than 50 feet here at home because of the dust storm that came before all the rain. We did have a casualty because of the strong wind. The grill not only tipped over but got pushed towards the house. Even with the full propane tank to hold it down. Luckily, it didn't quite make it to the sliding glass door.



It could have been worse though, we could have been this guy:

So busy...

Whew... First of all, many thanks to Karen and Chad for a great baby shower! It wasn't a traditional shower (that's a good thing), but it was a great chance to catch up with some friends that we hadn't seen in a while. And a chance to eat some great food that Karen and Chad prepared. They really went overboard! We got a lot of great gifts that will come in handy pretty soon.

We had a lot going on last week... An orientation class at the hospital, a doctor visit, a visit to a pediatrician, dinner with some friends didn't make it to the shower... Then Saturday morning we bought a bunch of things that we still needed for Zach and then spent the rest of the day cooking a bunch of meals to freeze so we have something to eat when Zach comes.

It should be a quieter week this week, just trying to get some more little things ready for Zach's impending arrival!

FexEd comes through

We claimed $50 for shipping and $50 for damage (thinking we might have to pay for the replacement parts and to have them shipped to us). FedEx sent us a chack for $140.97. Go figure...
