My apologies... It has been too long.

Post-Ike and Ann being out of town is my only excuse. I am going to put a few of misc pics on hopefully with labels.

A walk with all the kids the Saturday after the storm. Colin, Shelley, Dylan, Eli, and Caroline all were without power, but we had power so they stayed with us. Who would have thought that we would have power when only 4% of the city had it. I call that hurricane karma...lose everything to Katrina, have power through Ike. By the way, I still don't consider us even with Mother Nature.



Dakota has started sleeping in the kids room at night after the storm. We slept in there too on Friday night. Here are my attempts to master our camera's different setting. First...no flash, we have confirmation it is nighttime. Second, low light photography, you really need a tripod for this to work.

Finally I just used the flash, no one else was the wiser, but you can't tell it is nighttime. Thus the other two pics.
