Ready or Not...

...it's coming, AGAIN!!! A year ago, this week, we got the worst ice storm Arkansas has seen in twenty years, or something like that. (I don't remember the exact stat.) Sometime this afternoon we're going to get hit again with what they are saying could be the #2 or #3 storm in twenty years. We'll see what the weather actually ends up doing. We're praying it's not as bad as they are saying it could be.

Here is my blog post from last year's storm. We have plenty of food and firewood and are about as prepared as we can be.

I'm a little jealous of some friends of ours who are down in Florida right now. They are scheduled to fly back to NWA tonight but my guess is they won't be able to fly home today and will be "stuck" down there a few extra days.

We'll see what happens...

My new nephew!

My sister, Andrea, was pregnant with her 2nd little boy. She was due March 2nd. On January 2nd she ended up at the hospital having an emergency c-section, due to preclamsia. Brayden Seth was born 8 weeks early! He weighs only 3lbs. 2 oz. and is 16 1/4 inches long.

Andrea is doing well. She is still in the hospital but is feeling much better and may go home tomorrow. Brayden is also doing well, all things considered. He's breathing on his own and not loosing any weight. He will be in the NICU at Washington Regional Hospital for probably about 3-4 weeks.

Keep Andrea, her husband Brian, their 1st son Benjamin, and their new little one Brayden in your prayers.
