Any minute now we should feel some of the storm here in Jersey Village, in North Houston. We have had a pretty clear day with a little more wind than normal, but nothing major. The wind started to pick up about 7:30 pm. However, we still don't have any rain. Scott's parents decided to stay in Clear Lake. We did tell them to go to our house and get some food and things since they flew in last night from California. When they got home, the grocery stores were closed.

Cooper has been doing well. Since we kind of just threw things in the car and left, we really don't have too many things for Cooper to do. We have read the 5 books that we brought with us about 10 times each...and we have even watched his letter video twice. The scary part is that we could go to the park and be outside today. Not sure what exactly we will find to take up time tomorrow with all the rain.

Dogs are having fun hanging out with our friends two dogs. It is a dog party.

Hopfully, I will be able to let you know more tomorrow.

Weathering the Storm,

THE SUPER SIMONDS
