So much has happened....

Since the last time I updated this.

We had Hurricane Ike roll through here...My 25th birthday, Haleigh's first birthday, Jared & I went to Dallas for the UT/OU football game, and this week we have Jared's 26th birthday and Haleigh's party.

Hurricane Ike was awful. We stated here at home in The Woodlands, and decided to wait out the storm. The rain started about midnight, then came the howling winds, and then came a big dose of my anxiety! About 4:30am, Jared, Haleigh and I came downstairs and camped out in our little closet in the living room. Haleigh thought it was playtime, so she was playing with the radio antenna and flash lights. She finally fell asleep after lots of rocking, but it was not very comfortable in there. We came out of the storm perfectly. Some branches fell off of the trees in the back, we need to replace some roof shingles and fence posts, but other than that, we are golden. We were without power for two weeks, and we are so grateful for the Weber family for letting us camp out at their house while waiting for power.

Haleigh had her One Year check-up today with her primary care doctor. Dr. Hill is quite impressed with Miss Priss, and we'll go back in three months from now. She is doing well on her height and weight, and we are off of formula :-) Haleigh has three teeth - two on the bottom and one up top. She looks pretty silly with just one up top, but we still love her. She's eating so much "big girl food" now, and she's a great eater. Haleigh is willing to try most anything, as long as it's on a spoon being served to her.

Happy Monday!
