Sorry, I still haven't downloaded birthday pics, but I had something silly to share.
We went to Quizno's last night. Abbi picked a sesame seed off her sub and said, "I'm going to take this home so I can plant a bread tree!"
Hee hee! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVI!!
Today is Evi's first birthday! It hardly seems possible that a year has passed.
We are super busy (as usual!) today. The girls have Kids' College classes, then we go to church, so Evi's birthday celebration will probably be a late night one! I hope to post pictures tomorrow. Check back then! Until then... here's a couple of oldies but goodies.

Flood, the IRS and Skin!
Water, water everywhere!
I was pretty angry late Monday night to find a big puddle under our table. I was sure that the dog had peed (again!). I opened the garage door to put her to bed, and was quite shocked to find a small pond where I had left the garage! It was storming, and we have just had so much rain over the last month, the ground can't take any more. Every corner of our 2 car garage was wet. The puddle under the table inside the house was the result of the water seeping under the threshold and the laminate flooring. It then came up through the seams & caused the puddle.
I used the ShopVac to suck up 40 gallons of water. :P Josh got our girls' little swimming pool, and started bailing water into it to keep it from going into the garage. We were up until about 3:30AM trying to deal with it. Tuesday, we ended up renting a storage unit, and moving all the stuff we stored in the garage. (well... the salvagable stuff.) I'm not sure how well the floor will dry out.
Then, today I opened a piece of mail that literally upset my stomach. The IRS. Aaaagghh! It was a letter to inform me that there was an error on my income tax return, and that we owed an additional $2500! I panicked and called right away. After 1 hour and 40 minutes on the phone (with 3 different representatives), we got it straightened out, I think. They told me that there wasn't an error, that I didn't owe more money, and that they'd put it in the system. We'll see if they send another bill next month.
On a happier note, I bought Ted Dekker's latest, Skin at Sam's Club today for $12.88!
Too late to be up! Going to bed now.
