Another Hurricane Gone

So far, we've been missing the worst of these storms during the hurricane season. We've seen some rain and the wind has been strong at times, but really there hasn't been any damage to speak of. Hurricane Gustav gave us a scare, but in the end he missed us by a long ways. I'd say that God has been taking good care of us, but then what does that mean for the other people who have been in the brunt of the storm? This is one of those things you don't really want to pray doesn't hit you, because then you're praying that it hits lots of other people. But we're thankful, nonetheless, that we missed the worst of it. Although I still want to see what one is like someday.

Not too much has been going on here. For Labor Day, our canoeing/kayaking plan was shot (that would be when the hurricane decided to hit land). So we turned to other means of entertainment. Here's our first fire in our fireplace!

We even cooked dinner on it. "We" being Tobin. Mm mm.

And look what followed Tobin into the house last night! Isn't he cute? I think Tobin may have killed him accidentally, though, when he let the toad back outside. It hit the wall kind of hard. Whoopsie.

I had a sorta crappy picture of our new coffee table, but blogger won't let me post it. Sorry. I'll try again later. We're looking forward to this weekend, which is the company picnic for Pall. We'll be at a water park for most of the day. :) Yay free slides! I'll post about that later. Bye!
