Stormy Weather

So in one week we survived an Earthquake, a hurricane and the first day of school. All in the span five days. It was quite a week. The last week before school started again Lily was home but had a week full of play dates and school prep. Jack was back for his first week at school and he had a great time being back with his classmates.

On Friday, we headed off to Lily's school to meet her new teacher. It was a successful visit and Lily was all ready to start with her new first/second grade split class. It will be an interesting year and we are sure that she will thrive. Over the weekend we hunkered down during the big storm. The kids spent the afternoon at the movies and then we followed up it later that evening with a second feature. The storm came and went and we woke up to a backyard full of sticks and branches.

We ran some errands during the morning and then spent the afternoon on bike rides and walks checking out the neighborhood damage.

Once again, we were not great photographers this week but we do have a few pictures to share.
