Power...or the lack thereof

Hello everyone-
Sorry it's been awhile. Once again we were hit by another hurricane, only this time it affected our area a little more. We went to Monroe for the weekend, braving the BAADD weather, made it safely, but they had no internet connection. We arrived home yesterday, only to discover our house had been out of power for the whole weekend. So, sweating profusely in the dark, we searched for our candles, and we had no cell phone systems, so we could not call the parents either. However, we are back in business now, but you will have to wait for some pics, as I have to use the library computer right now. Other than feet of water on the roads, things are going well. We have started our choir, and although it is slow going, the boys are determined and hard-working. My parents arrive on Saturday, so that should be exciting.
This morning Hobbes and I ventured out with some other moms and drove( mainly to be in air-conditioning:)) to the Natchez Indian village. There we saw cultural artifacts, a huge mud hut, a 'mound,' and most importantly- fire ants! Yes, we were all up on the mound, where they would lookout from, with all these kids age 0-10 and we discovered multiple beds of fire ants. Needless to say, we were running back to the building to get some spray. Have you ever been bit by a fire ant? They hurt like anything!!! Believe me, they are not your friend. I guess anything having to do with fire just does not go well with me. Well, I just wanted to give a small update-I shall put pics up next week, and fill you in on more details later. We are having a new couple over for dinner tomorrow, the ones that have a baby girl 2 days older than Hobbes, so I need to go make some food! Love to you all!
