18 months- hip hip hurray!

Carter had his first day of nursery a couple of weeks ago and he went in without any crying. He did well for the first couple of weeks and has now decided to cry- poor boy! Granted it is during naptime and lunchtime, I would probably cry too. As soon as church is over and we peek our head in the door to pick him up and he runs towards us crying. Better luck next week.

Happy New Years

This morning I woke up at 4:30 with Emma and heard a little noise outside and took a peek and saw a firetruck. I started smelling smoke and then more firetrucks arrived. After a couple of minutes I could see smoke and soon the house 2 doors down was on fire. My in-laws came up stairs and we had a little gathering in the front room as we watched the neighbor's house burn down. We slid the Christmas tree out of the way and pulled up the couch and watched for several hours as the firefighters were hard at work.

Flames were shooting out of the windows and roof. There were 2 ladder trucks in the air continiously spraying water on the fire. However, the fire burned for over 3 hours.

As day breaks the damage is finally visible

Our street was lined with trucks as far as I could see and our driveway quickly turned into a news station and was used to roll up all of the fire hoses. It wasn't exactly how I thought I would be spending my New Years Day but I did get an interview (with the guy in the white jacket) with Channel 5 in my pj's and all. If anyone actually sees it air, let me know. Everyone got out safe and sound!!!
