Still no power

The hurricane came and went and we still don't have power. Slowly, little by little, everyone is getting power back. All of our family has power at this point, it's only our neighborhood and eddie's office. Our yardman came and cleaned up the huge mess in our backyard. We lost lots of major branches and a few trees. It doesn't look like we will have any pecans this year, they all blew off!

On another note, I'm still not back at school since they too, don't have power. I've been babysitting our class caterpillar, very nervously b/c it ate all the leaves off the milkweed plant. Luckily, philip and dana had a plant, which i took. I just can't believe how rapidly it grows. It started off the size of a child's eyelash and now, after a week, it's about 1 1/2 inches long.

The final news is that Miss Sophie is going to have a baby brother. We are tickled blue!
