I don't want to say that we are as ready as we can be, but we have all the essentials covered. Also, we have plenty of flashlights. I'll post an all-clear once the storm passes. We will send updates to the grandparents and they can disseminate information. Grandparents, look for emails or texts as they can get through when calls can't (most cellphone companies will send the email/texts automatically, over and over again until they are received).

Wish us luck.

If all goes according to plan, we will have entertained ourselves so much that Isaac will ask when the next hurricane is coming.

Well, I could blather on and on, or I could just get to the video...here is the video:



If you are 14 months old there is nothing like a handmade, walnut and maple bulldozer made by your G-Daddy to make you happy. This is just an awesome video for so many reasons.

Isaac says THANKS G-DADDY!

There is a hurricane coming up the East Coast, in case you didn't hear. So last night Bianca and I took Isaac to Wal-Mart and Hannafords (a local grocery store chain) to get some supplies. At Wal-Mart we had a great time, Isaac walking around or standing the carriage while we were looking for things. At the end, Bianca had to go wash her hands (the little guy was an absolute piggy at dinner) so Isaac and I checked out. He was standing the carriage and the cashier was talking to him. One lane over a group of young women were commenting on how cute he was. He was waving "hi" and smiling, being usual cute guy self.

Then we brought out the big guns. I told him "Raise your hand if your name is Isaac." He instantly put up a little chubby arm and grinned like the Cheshire Cat. A round of applause went up from the people in line a Wal-Mart. As we made our way to the front door, Isaac waved again to his crowd of fans and pretty much every woman gave him a wave back.
