The kids birthdays were during all the hurricane mess. Daniels 6th birthday was on Friday and the Hurricane was coming on Sunday. We had a lot to do to get ready for the hurricane and it was a stressful week. Daniel was a trooper though and we did have a birthday dinner and cake for him for his night. Then the Hurricane hit late Sunday night. We boarded up the windows and hoped for the best. We all slept in the den and barely got any sleep that night. We made it through the whole major part of the storm with power. It wasn't until 7 am the next morning that we lost power. We had a lot trees go down but no major property damage. Only the awning on Cavan's workshop was damaged. After only one day of no running water, electricity, and air conditioning, I decided to go to Tampa to stay with Cavan's cousin because they never lost power. We stayed there for few days until my mom's power came back on and stayed with her until our power came back on Friday night. Cavan was leaving to drive up to Jacksonville the next morning, because our church was getting together work crews to help clean up there. Saturday was KaeLynn's birthday so we went out to eat Friday night to celebrate her. We were so excited to get back in our home, just to discover our air conditioner was out. It took 4 days to get it fixed. We were really grateful to at least have power and running water and to know that people south of us in the keys were struggling much more then us. Some of KaeLynn's presents did not come in time, but again KaeLynn was such a trooper. It was a busy week after, with Cavan either helping other people or us trying to clean up our own property.
