Impending Ike

Ike is near! We are "sheltering in place" or "hunkering down" here at home with the kids and Nicole. We expected rain throughout the day, but we haven't really seen much so far. The kids are finally asleep downstairs on air mattresses. They played a lot outside this evening with kids on our street even though it was VERY windy! I do have pics of the sky and the kids playing, but I can't post them because I'm on the laptop and I usually upload my pics from the computer that is now unplugged. I'll post pics later. We are safe right now and prepared for lots of wind and rain!
