Caleb said his second verb today (he still seems very far behind to us in the talking skills). We're very pleased to say it's "read". His two verbs are "eat" and "read" - obviously amongst the most important actions in the Papsdorf household. We just get him to say "pray" and he'll be all set. What else is there?
Josh and I are horrified by what we've seen on TV in Katerina's wake. Kristin, we're so glad to hear you're ok. I've been thinking about you a lot. I'm glad you're able to have friends come stay with you. I've heard from some of our Directors in the New Orleans area that they aren't going to be allowed home for about 2 months. Yikes.
I'm traveling (business and pleasure) the next couple of weeks, but once I get back I should be back in the BLD blog business a little more. Caleb's blog is almost up to date. His website pictures are up to date. (Of course, we'll generate more while traveling, but that's ok.)
God bless and be well - to all of you.
Hi all,
Just a note to say that we are okay. Just a lot of leaves from our neighbors and trees in the roads, street lights in the roads, etc. But, we are doing well and have only had power flickers (thank goodness) and no power outages for any length of time. It wasn't until this storm that I fully understood what losing power in AL means--no AC. With 90+ degree heat, no AC means a lot of bad things. Especially with all the moisture that Katrina brought. Luckily we haven't had to confront that like so many of our neighbors.
Law school friends of Jay from Mobile are coming to our house tonight. Mobile is a disaster (literally), so they are getting out. We are happy to have them, especially knowing how bad it is down there right now.
It's been a week of near misses for me. Last Wed., I was trying to drive to Montgomery to visit a friend who recently moved from B'ham and three two by fours were dropped from a truck a car in front of me. One broke my windshield, one hit my hood, and the other went through my radiator. I am very very lucky to be fine. My car is a wreck, but that is being fixed. It's been eventful--but! I knew it would be. Jay and I just recently bought a house, so we knew that chaos would erupt as soon as we assumed a mortgage. Hopefully, it will settle down soon...
Jonathan, I'm back online at home so you shouldn't be writing to yourself as much anymore.
Fondly,
Kristin
It is sad that you blog to yourself. Really, you should get out more. Or at least do work when you're at work.
Hi, Jonathan. How are you? I hope you have an excellent day today. Talk to you later.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
I'm sorry, Jonathan. That stinks. Did she give a reason? I thought it odd that she started acting weird after you met her parents--especially since you thought that meeting went well. I couldn't help wondering if maybe she got a strange vibe from them or something. Which, in my opinion, should not be taken too seriously, since parents often feel weird about people their kids are dating. Anyway, that truly stinks since you guys were having fun.
On a different note: How are the renovations going? We're set to move at the beginning of next week. For those who are interested, our new contact info. is: 5321 7th CT S, B'ham AL 35212 and our home phone is 205-595-3815 (it's not on yet, though).
