Happy Birthday Mommy!

I will always remember my 26th birthday as the day where Atlanta had all of the floods! We were going to take Parker to the Gwinnett County Fair, but the weather was horrific and scary so we pretty much just stayed home all day (I had taken the day off work). About 3 we decided to go get my tag renewed, (what a crappy birthday present), swing by Jessie's for a bit to let Parker play with Mya, maybe go out to dinner and then go to the grocery store. Once we got to Jessie's the weather had picked up again and it was pouring outside. We started getting concerned about roads and making it home if we waited any longer so we swung in and got some chinese food for dinner and slowly drove home. We were very blessed that we did not have any water damage at all and that all of our loved ones are safe and sound. There are a lot of people in the Atlanta area that arent so fortunate. Six Flags is completely under water, a 2 year old little boy lost his life when he was pulled from his father's arms after the mobile home they lived in was smashed in half and they were pulled downstream, and a woman in Lawrenceville (where I work) was wisked away in the flood waters in her car and drowned before anyone could get to her to save her. There are also many more who were hurt, injured, missing or lost everything they had.

My baby has been drinking out of a regular cup at meal times and has been doing great! Of course there is the occasional full lap of water or milk :)
