Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Giant catipillars! Oh my!

Irene passed through today and fortunately we weathered it very well. While we were dumped on with rain, we have seen very little damage due to the winds.

At about 2am we saw that the canals near our home have overflown and were flowing through our yard. Some of that carried on into the morning as you can get the feeling for in these pictures. However at night, the view from the back yard was a lake that only ended half way up our neighbor's driveway.

It's amazing the things you'll find under your couch. Little A is getting ready to crawl. She needs to so that she stops scooting herself backward into tight spots. :)

I'm not sure what allure a gigantic hungry caterpillar has to a child, but despite the odd sight of it, Letty seemed to like it and Gracie at least tolerated the visitor to the Pottery Barn Kids story hour.

I wish I had something that cute under my couch! Ah a puppet show! Good way to stay out of the rain.

That is a scary caterpillar! Thanks for posting pics of the flooding. Baby girl will be crawling soon and then you might wish she was still stuck under the couch :)
