Literally, it's hurricane weekend here. Though we're only experiencing the edge of the storm, our street is filled with extra cars because many of our neighbors are hosting their families and friends from southeast Texas. We've been watching the news, and Ike is moving north through Texas. It's windy and dark outside, but we won't have winds that cause much damage. Our schools and public buildings are being used for evacuees and Red Cross efforts.
We're thankful that we're not in danger, but we're praying for those who are here and it definitely seems real to us. When we were in the grocery store last night, we heard evacuees talking about how long they thought they'd have to be here. The impact of the storm is amazing. They said our hotels are full, and the population of Austin is close to double it's normal numbers because of those who've fled here from the storm. Please join with us in praying for those affected by they storm.
On a happier note, here are some new pictures:

Jude just gets cuter all the time! (I especially like the post-it-note picture-ha!) I hope you guys are doing well-we ought to get together sometime. Are you guys available in the next month? We should have dinner...I think it's our turn this time!
He's a cutie. We missed you at church yesterday!!
Troy! Congratulations on your family and school accomplishments! Jude is a cutie. (I found your blog from Arianna's and was so pleased to see all is well.)
Peace be with you,
