My view from behind closed doors...

Whenever I go into the bathroom and shut the door, I see little fingers, toes, and occasionally some toys poking under the door and I hear Carter talking to me. He especially loves it when I stick my fingers and toes back through at him or tickle his fingers or toes -- funny boy!

big storm

Monsoon season here is always interesting! Last night we had a gigantic storm come through. Majorly loud thunder and a ton of lightning scared Carter a bit at first, but we let him have a flashlight, powered everything down, opened the blinds, and watched. He loves watching storms once he can tell we are okay with the noise and light flashes. It lasted a while, and it was strong. As we watched, limbs just started peeling off the tree in font of our home. This picture shows some of the branches that were ripped off the tree and blown into our neighbor's entryway. Once things calmed down, Shane went out and pulled all the branches away from their door and into the middle of the courtyard so they could get in/out the door. This was how it looked the next morning before the clean-up crews came through. It probably doesn't look too bad to those of you who get hurricanes, etc. However, just across the street an entire tree came down by our mailbox. Down the street a little further a huge one uprooted into the road. When I went walking with Carter, there were just trees and branches down everywhere. Carter keeps saying, "Oh no! Trees broken!" Again, not really bad, but definitely not wimpy. I'm grateful we were safe at home when it hit!
