Baking at Auntie Julie and Uncle Bill's

We are so lucky to have family nearby who are so wonderful to our kids. While Mommy and Daddy had a special day and night in Annapolis sans kiddos (going to a Navy game and out with friends), Addie and Sam clearly had a marvelous time baking away at Auntie Julie and Uncle Bill's. Happy almost-Thanksgiving.

All is well in Annapolis

Morning friends and family:

It's looking like the storm was not as severe as they were predicting. And thankfully folks at all levels seems to have done a good job preparing communities. We have power and all slept soundly until 8:30!

Still concerns for folks on the water in terms of the tide and the amount of water from the rain, but I guess there are a few benefits to not living directly on the water :-)

Whew, what a relief.

Samantha has no clue about anything related to the storm, and Addie is sad the "hurricane" is over since she had placed LED candle lights all over the house and wanted the electricity to go out. There is certainly a lure in us humans to hunker down and get back to the basics.

Much love,
Jess

Looking like worst may have passed us..,

.. Time to watch another episode of walking dead :-)

Winds have settled a bit and map looks like worst has passed us.

Sweet dreams
Jess

Winds picking up but doing good so far

Winds are picking up but so far so good. Girls are snuggled in our room and jc and i still have a fire lit from this morning.

Minor leaking in our ceiling. Fingers crossed it stays this way.

Lights flickering a lot but power holding!

Sending out wishes of safety for all
Jess
