Hurricane Irene came through Maine today. Since they are so young, I did not want my children to be frightened by the storm so before it got too windy outside we took Grace and Jack out to play in all of the puddles that Irene brought us overnight. Grace and Jack could not have been any happier to splash, jump, slide and tumble in all of the rain puddles. They especially loved it when it began to pour (!) as they were playing outside. By the end of the adventure both Grace and Jack had removed their socks and boots to play and were happily soaked from head to toe. We are still feeling the effects of Irene right now. It is VERY windy here but we are so fortunate that most of the heavy rain subsided earlier this afternoon and that we still have electricity as of 8:45 p.m.. My thoughts tonight our with my family in Vermont, Delaware, New Jersey and Massachusetts and to all those who were in Irene's path.
...and our sweet baby girl was sleeping safely inside (taking her morning nap) while Grace and Jack were out splashing in the puddles. During the storm, Eve enjoyed staying inside all day in her pajamas! I took this picture of Eve early this afternoon while she was watching Grace and Jack perform a dance and music recital. Isn't she just sooooo sweet?!!!! I am so relieved knowing that all three of my children are sleeping safely tonight.

They are little ducks! Though, I think that Grace and Jack are having more fun than their webbed counterparts. Splash, plop, the fun doesn't stop. Yeah!
And Eve is ever sweet and smiley!

You are such a wonderful mom! Glad you have not lost power. Our power did stay on but I got very little done today as we all slept in our basement last night during the tornado warnings. Hoping to get a lot done tomorrow as they all go back to school Tuesday!
Rebecca, just as Joy said, you are so wonderful!
Bob, too!
In fact your entire family is wonderful--all three little ones are full of life and you make it all happen for them.
I just LOVE it so,
Mom
