Rain, rain go away....

This Saturday, we got dumped on. I was planning to head out with a friend, when she called to say we were under a tornado warning and a flood watch! At first, I thought it just looked like a little rain...whats the big deal, but several minutes after we decided not to venture out, we looked outside our front door to see that our street had become a river!



This recycling container collected about a foot and a half of water in an hour!

You can see the water creeping up, about to get that car in the driveway!


Ellis, up to his knees in the middle of our street!

Ellis got some great father-daughter bonding time, while we were housebound, waiting to venture out. When we finally did make it out, Ellis surprised me by taking me to buy a jogging stroller, something I said I had wanted.





Following the directions, not one of my talents...

Sunday, was the complete opposite of Saturday's weather. It was sunny and gorgeous, still not too hot. So, we took the stroller out for a run. Emrey seemed to enjoy it. I have accepted that my body is never going to go back to "normal" :), but regardless, it is time to start exercising again. The run was a bit painful for me...but it always is when you haven't been doing anything!

Wow, I can't believe that flooding- I hope it didn't reach your house. How crazy was that for Ellis to stand in the middle of the street with water up to his knees!
Emrey is getting so cute I almost can't stand it! :) We're due for a visit!
