Home At Last

We are back home and very thankful the storm turned north after we had evacuated. We wish the best to our friends and family in the Houston area who weren't so lucky.

Grace managed to come away from the trip with a new toy.

Hurricane IKE

Well, it's finally here. The day I've been dreading for the 2 years I've been in Corpus. Vela Family is officially evacuating Corpus today ahead of a possible mandatory evacuation. Half of our house is already boarded up, we have our most prized possession, Grace, and we're headed to San Antonio. Pray that we don't get the worst of this storm.

Grace's 1st Day of Class

Grace had her first day of class today - music class. It's a Musikgarten class aimed specifically at babies. We sang, bounced, wiggled, and played for 25 minutes and Grace was LOVING it!!

In Class


Mommies had "used" rattles that we shook and thankfully Grace had her own brand new one that went straight in her mouth.

Laundry Day......again!
