Rain, Rain, please go away and don't come back again!!!


Well, we have spent the night at the house for one night. The tree has been removed from the car and hauled away. They started on the tree on Wednesday afternoon at around 3:45 and it was all almost gone by 6:00 that night. It is amazing how quickly they can remove those things. So I decided to call all the neighborhood little boys that live on the street that Sullivan plays with, to come and watch them work. For young boys, that is like the best thing in the world to watch. Boys love machines and we had men here working with chainsaws and driving bobcat, it was so awesome to them. I have a picture of them of all standing around watching.

I have a few pictures of the car without the tree and some other tree stuff that I will try to put up. We have really had such a crazy week, because this happened on Monday, Thursday my mom had to got the hospital because she wasn't feeling well after taking the flu shot and she had to stay over night, then on friday was Sullivan's 3rd birthday and I had to take cupcakes to his school. Because of the birthday we decided to forget everything else and let him have a good night. And since my mom is fine just needs to rest and take better care of herself, we went to Chuck E Cheese with our Atlanta family. Our Atlanta family consists of Sullivan, Ward, & I, Nicole & Patrick Brien, and Ashley Cordua & her fiance, Matt Stafford. We have so much fun & the birthday boy loved it. It was his first time to go there.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for us. We are doing well and glad to be home without any problems. We are so blessed to have the friends and neighbors we have nad we can't thank the Brien's (nicole & patrick) enough for letting us stay. That's all for now. Hope you enjoy all the pictures!

"Daddy pick up that tree off Momma's car!"

Ward, Sullivan, Bailey, and I have had such an experience in the past two days. While Sullivan and I were napping yesterday (keep in mind that it had been raining for almost 2 weeks straight) a extremely old pine tree decided to fall on my car. My car has been flattened under a sixty year old pine and there is no way it will come out from this alive. The tree mainly hit my car, but it did pierce the roof and water proceeded to flow into my house. We are blessed with our neighbors and neighborhood because a friend from down the street happened to call. So of course I told her what had happened and the next thing I know there are a group of men at the end of my driveway waiting to help. Luckily Ward had been homw about 15-20 minutes, so he was ready for the help. We are truly lucky to have friends that live here, so we are the REFUGEES in Roswell with Nicole and Patrick Brien. So we have been having a slumber party at Coco & Bobo 's house (that is what Sullivan calls them).

Today, we got some estimates on Tree removal and finally got the ok from our insurance people to have the tree removed. I have gotten a rental car, which is an Expedition, I was wondering if I would like it so here is my chance to find out. I am going to share a few pictures with you guys. Talk to you all soon and please pray for us that this will all work out smoothly.
