Progress!

There's still no power at our house, BUT the good news is that Meghan's husband Jerry came by and fixed our cable and Internet service - Yipee!!!! Our next door neighbor has power but we don't. There's a power line down in our front yard. A utility company truck just turned around in our driveway so I'm trying to be optimistic. Really this hasn't been too bad since Rich had the foresight to buy a generator several years ago. The nice part is that we've gotten to know our neighbors Mark and Tracey and their kids Fifi and Sammy. Sammy is Luke's age and they've had a wonderful, giddy, silly time every time they've come over. Hard to believe we've been neighbors for 1 1/2 years and not found each other before now.

Aaron and Raha have either a bad cold or the flu. Fever, bad coughs, and general ickiness. Aaron has thrown up a couple of times but I think it's been from coughing not upset stomach.

Luke had another great swimming lesson today - he'll put his face in the water and do four arm strokes, then lift his head for a breath and start over. He's floating on his back for several seconds but hasn't formally started learning the backstrokes. It's fun watching how enthusiastic he is about practicing along the wall while MacKenna takes turns with B.J.
