soccer!

 The kids had their first soccer game yesterday. Nina was awesome, she ran up and down the field for almost an hour and played whenever the team needed her. Kai's team (purple Sharks) played after Nina. Kai did a great job, he was aggressive and even scored 2 goals. He and Lainey were a great team, and Nina and Adam had a ball playing iphone games to pass the time. Jujubee was a superstar spectator.

It was hard to watch Nina's game first.

Juju was a happy spectator

bracing for the storm

Tied shutters down, everything that can fly in the garage, 2x4 over the french doors. We all slept in Kai & Nina's room for 2 nights. Lots of family time. We were relieved that the Ancars joined us on days 4&5  of our hibernation (even after Isaac passed, power lines and tree limbs prevented us from getting out)

Merrick gets a kick out of Julian. Kicking back in the living room.

I should be careful about this one
