September- Crazy Month

[ErikaS.]

What a month! If I didn't have pictures, even I wouldn't believe it.

September 1st: Wonderful day! My daughter Gracie Lou was born.

September 13th: Not so great. A severe thunderstorm sent golfball- to softball- sized hailstones ripping through our little town, destroying any car or house window or siding facing north. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.(A couple of horses died, sadly, in the next town the storm hit.)

Before the storm:

After:

In my bedroom:

September 23th: Driving home with my son and daughter after preschool, a truck pulled in front of me suddenly after failing to stop at a stop sign. I couldn't stop in time and my little Chevy blazer was totalled (so was the other truck). None of us were hurt, thank the Lord!

That's it.

Well, the month could have gone a little better, but it could have been much worse. I'm happy it's over...and tomorrow is my son's 4th birthday.

One more thing...I now own the collie! Some of you may recall my post from months before (or not). He's mine! Here's Laddie: (came with the name)

You did have quite a month! I hope October is calmer.

Congratulations on your two new additions!

Your daughter is beautiful and her new "fur brother" is awfully cute, too.

Wow

- the damage from that hail storm is unbelievable!

Congrats on the new additions!!

But I hope you don't have a repeat of that month anytime in the near future!

I myself am looking forward to a month with no road trips and actually being able to sleep in my own bed for more than a week at a time!!!!!

You have two very beautiful children!

Thank goodness you are all alright!

Thank you for the compliments!

I could not believe how much has happened.

Hopefully now I can go back to my rather mundane existance.
