Please pray

Gustav is gearing up to hit the gulf coast. The people who live there are still putting their lives together from Katrina. Pray for wisdom, strength and direction for them and pray for a weakened storm. My daddy got called up in the National Guard to go to New Orleans to be on standby, please pray for him as well. He is finally doing what the intended purpose of the Guard is. Also please pray that we will not have major flooding and tornadoes from this storm here. I will probably plan to be away from home during that time as we live in a mobile home and I am terrified of this sort of thing anyway.

Sean is talking!

Sean began saying a few words back in December and stayed there for awhile. Then over the summer he began to say a few more words and now he is coming up with something new every day. Today he got off the bus and walked over to the DVD player, picked up his "Big Bird Gets Lost" DVD and handed it to me and said,"Big Bird". So of course he got to watch Big Bird! I am so glad he got into camp this summer because he had a great summer and I think that is why he is trying so hard to speak.
