this is the section of our backyard fence that fell over. the right is our yard, the left is our back neighbor's yard. it would be flat on the ground, but we propped it up with a stick so brian could try to fix it. we found out the fence posts snapped, so we need to buy a couple new ones as soon as lowe's or home depot gets re-stocked. brian was able to re-attach it temporarily so the dogs are safe in our yard.
while brian & i worked in the front yard, we let the girls drive up and down the street. they usually love this ... brian hooks up the wagon to avery's princess car and she pulls tatum around. this picture was from a couple weeks ago so you can get the idea.
well today tatum was not so content and she tried to get out all by herself. i know we should've taken more safety precautions, but they have done this alot and been just fine. today, though, tatum face-planted into the street. poor thing, she had pavement in her cheek! i cleaned it out as gently as possible and we covered it in neosporin all day. it didn't seem to bother her after the initial shock, but her cheek was really swollen and obviously scraped up. i am so thankful that was all that happened from her fall, it could've been much worse. we learned our lesson.
i never got around to posting pictures from avery's first day of "school", aka mother's day out. this is her that afternoon after i picked her up. she is sitting on our new sandbox cover brian built on labor day, which we love. of course, she is holding lightning & mater, the two little cars that she is never without these days. who would've thought a little girl could love two toy cars so much?!!
two sweet sisters!!!
that's all for now. i'm going to bed!!!

Melanie, I love reading these updates. Thank you so much for posting these. It is giving me a little insite as to what is going on around my house. We are still up at my parents house. Clay had to go to Trididad for work, so I just decided to stay here until he gets back. Since you live so close, I feel like I sorta know what is going on by reading your blog. Thanks girl, you are helping me out tons. Good luck on all the clean up and repairs. We stayed there through the storm then headed out after. We didn't seem to have any damage at all, but we will look much closer once we get home.
I bet you are glad to be back home. I'm so happy to hear that your house is for the most part, fine. We've been thinking so much about you.
The girls are always so CUTE. When Martin and I talk about reading your blog, it almost always ends with talking about how sweet and cute the girls are.
