The Tree...An Update



We cleaned up our tree this week, finally. It took a couple of hours and then we had half a tree in our driveway! :) Anyone need any firewood??? The kids worked SO hard. I was very proud of them...especially our baby girl. She did not stop! I was very grateful, also, that there were no bugs, spiders, etc. living in it. You can see Ethan's opinion on the whole thing (thumbs down) but they all really had a good attitude and worked very hard.




The link below should take you to the slideshow of pictures. I took breaks often to document our day. :)

Texas Sized Storm

















They say everything is bigger in Texas, and last night's storm was no exception. Lightning struck the tree in our front yard...my favorite tree! I don't know if we can save it. It cut a pretty big hole in the branches so it does not look very nice. We were blessed, though, to have gotten home about five minutes before this happened.
