aunt rachael saves the day


aunt rachael came for a visit this weekend. jacob had lots of fun playing with his aunt. rachael came to the rescue on monday when jacob's babysitter was sick. rachael called off work and stayed in kentucky 1 day longer than planned (and got to change some pretty nasty diapers to boot). our hero!

we survived the recent storms, the remnants of hurricane ike, that passed through kentucky on sunday afternoon. we were fortunate to only have a minor amount of damage and loss of power for only 4 hours. there are many people in the cincinnati and northern kentucky areas that are still without power and had extensive damage to their homes.


our one excitement from the storm was the up-rooting of the outhouse we have out behind our barn. we're waiting to hear from our landlord whether or not they want to try to save it or destroy it.

and lastly, jacob got new fire truck slippers last week- we're getting ready for the cooler weather. he calls them "weeee-oooooh".

Well, I think Jacob looks like Rae, now... He's a camelion (sp?)

Love the slippers!
