The Cleanup

Jake helping get generators hooked up

Josie not even pretending to help


The news reports this week have titles like, "On the Road to Recovery." After driving around several neighborhoods in Magnolia, I can definitely say it's a long road. Some areas look like what I imagine a war zone to be. We saw homes with trees still sitting on top of them and countless utility lines that are still on the ground or have trees on top of them. Administrators from our school district spent the evening delivering food and water to hard-hit neighborhoods, and a school was opened up for people to take showers. We found out today that we will not be back in school on Monday. No one is sure about the rest of the week.


Our water is back off. Maybe they will hook it back up the generator tomorrow.

The latest in post-hurricane fashion--saw Jake's famous boots (I knew they'd come in handy some day) and Josie's outift is what every girl who doesn't have water or in some cases electricity needs.
Hope you get some water
love,
