Goodbye Irene!

      The one good thing about Hurricane Irene was that Aunt Taylor and Andrew came to stay with us for an extra night this past weekend.  They live in Morehead City and were lucky not to have any damage to their home or cars.  Other than that, we were very glad to see Irene make her way out of town.  She took down 3 trees in our backyard.  The trees could not have fallen more perfectly and we did not have any damage to the house.  Our grass in the backyard took a bit of a beating and will need some re-seeding in the fall.  Sunday after Avery's baptism, Pepaw, Daddy and Uncle Ian cut the trees and put them out in the street for the clean-up crews on Monday.  We are going to take down a bunch of trees in the backyard this Sunday and Monday, so we don't have this problem when the next storm comes through.  So come on over this weekend for some tree-cutting fun and good food on Monday!

Thanks for helping!
