So, we survived Hurricane Ike. Besides some strong wind and rain last night we really didn't feel anything in Katy...until the power went out around 4:00 AM. We then spent the day listening to the radio for updates and being really uncomfortable. It was so HOT and I finally saw Peyton's fussy sidr as she was really hot and uncomfortable. I had her in her diaper only which helped keep her somewhat cool but she loves to be swaddled and couldn't be tightly wrapped so she was really fussy. The power finally came on around 6:00 PM and Peyton was so happy to be tightly wrapped in her swaddle and has been her peaceful, happy and sleepy self since.
Update on our house...it seems like League City wasn't hit as bad as we initially thought it would be. Some friends have gone by our house and the initial reports are that the tree in the back yard was uprooted and is on its side, some of our fence is missing and there are some random shingles in the back yard. Since there is so much new construction in our neighborhood, the shingles might not even be from our house. It is a huge relief to hear that our house isn't too damaged and is liveable. I haven't heard anything specific on my mom's house but from what we hear our whole subdivision was in pretty good shape so I am hoping her house also had minimal damage.
We are planning on heading back tomorrow and before heading home will be heading to some stores in the Katy area to pick up some supplies in case if our power is still out so we can survive. We won't be updating the blog for awhile if the power is out but as soon as we can we will update everyone on what is going on and upload some pictures from our hurricane adventure...
