What a difference a year makes!
She also likes to dress herself now...
And read on the potty like Daddy...
It was time for Lakely to go to the dentist for her first check-up. We let Mimi tag along since she is a dental hygienist herself. I'm not sure if we'll let her go next time ;)
And lets not forget the incredible week we had full of natural disasters. It started off with outrageous smoke for days from the awful forest fires we obviously couldn't control. The smoke was so bad, that it woke me in the middle of the night because I thought our house was burning down! We all smelled like a bonfire. A couple of days after the smoke had started to subside, we had an earthquake! Thankfully nothing terrible happened to anyone we knew or anything that belonged to us, but still scary to say the least. Then we had lovely hurricane Irene enter the mix and really rock our world. Before the mandatory evacuation was enforced last Friday, you could cut the tension in our home with a knife. I wanted to go, Tony wanted to stay. Surprise, surprise. So, needless to say when we were "forced" to leave, I couldn't have been happier! However, it was hard leaving all of our belongings and not knowing whether we would see them again. I have to say we lucked out considering the water was 3-4 ft. deep and it never made it inside the house! True miracle is more like it! We ended up with some interesting things in our yard too, including a pretty nice cooler =) (That's what you get for not securing your stuff!)
Pulling up to the house, fingers crossed...
Treasures we inherited
You can see the water level on the gate
This was our neighbor's garden
