Pulling Up


Audrey is getting strong enough to pull herself up now. She has started to pull herself up on her crib, but gets too scared to let herself down. So she cries pretty hard and it's been difficult to get her to take a nap. She's a pretty sad girl right here.

First Hurricane


Well our first evacuation was quite an adventure. We left Wednesday night at midnight and started on Hwy 59 to Nacogdoches. In one hour, we made it to the airport and abandoned the hwy 59 plan. So we tried our best to get to Hwy 69 and head up. Eventually we made the trip in 6 hours which normally takes 2.5 hours. We faired a lot better than Pop Bales who took 12 hours by staying on hwy 59 the whole way. Thankfully, Audrey was perfect the whole ride. As the hurricane headed towards Beaumont we worried about our family, but got great news when Grandma and Grandpa Morrison showed up in Nacogdoches. The rest of my family headed to Austin.

The hurricane didn't do too much damage to Nacogdoches, except knock over a lot of trees and everyone's power. However in Beaumont, we don't even know how much damage took place because no one is allowed back in as of yet.

This is a picture of road back to the farm in Warren. The road is completely blocked with trees, but the house seems to be okay.

Teefies!



Audrey finally got her first Teefies(this is what Shannon calls teeth). She has two lower teeth coming in. They might be incisors(hopefully one of our four dentist friends will correct me if i'm wrong). We are trying to get her in the habit of brushing her teeth. We don't want her ending up like her uncle Pat brushing only once a week! Just kidding.

Weekend in Beaumont


Jason, Kendra and Gavin came into Beaumont so we went down and had a great time with them. Here's a pic of Kendra, Gavin, Shannon and Audrey swimming at grandma's.
