HURRICANE IKE

Well...we are back from our evacuation! We are back to a house with NO POWER....STILL!!! Everyone we know has power except us, but I am confident we will get it soon enough. Luckily we were spared this hurricane with minimal damage (the gate to the fence really).

Kaden's swingset received the most damage........

We started our evacuation journey on Thursday when the mandatory evacuation was called. We loaded up (luckily alot was still packed up from Gustav) and headed to the lakehouse. We got a little play time in before we had to get up and leave Friday morning for Plano. (The whole Williams clan...mommy, daddy, grammie and pawpaw, and great-maw maw and great-pawpaw) Since nothing is EVER simple, Kaden started running a high temp when we were in Plano. It was very sad.... Kendal and I took him to a Care Clinic and got him on some antibiotics....he was diagnosed with an upper-respiratory infection.

On Sunday we headed back to the lake because it did not lose power at all. Luckily our friends the Bartlett's were staying in Plano as well so Kaden and I hitched a ride with Jeanifer and Tyson to go to the lake...the boys had fun together!

Kaden kept us entertained...

When we got to the lake though...Kaden went downhill...his fever went up and up and finally peaked at 103.6. For those first few days it was bad...no one got ANY sleep! But his fever broke and soon he was back to normal.....silly!!

So sad about Kaden! Glad he pulled through and his fever broke - whew! Keeping my fingers crossed that your power comes back on soon.
