Still here.....

I apologize for the blogging interruption, but I haven't had that much to talk about besides the darn tree.



Here is a glimpse of what the inside looked like after.



enough of that.....


As an update, we are still waiting to hear about the house at our friend's estate he manages. We should know this Friday/weekend. Say a prayer that this works out!!

I finished the list of loss for the insurance company yesterday. We didn't have renters insurance, and our landlord did cover so I guess for that fact we are lucky. So the past 13 years came down to 12 pages. Our life's accumulations on 12 pages. Now, they will depreciate everything and we will be blessed to get what ever they give us and start from scratch.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant. Only about 4 to go. So far I gained 10 pounds and lost six in a week, probably due to stress. For a total of 4 pounds, this baby feels HUGE. I'll get an idea of how much she weighs today at my ultrasound at the hospital.

We had a quiet Mother's Day. It was really windy and all I wanted to do was sit at the beach but like I said, the wind was not letting that happen.

Brenna has been AMAZING through all of this. Believe me, she has her moments, and so do we, but when they say kids are resilliant, it's true.

This is what life looks like here at night after bath time


me on the cell and computer, Brenna wrapped up like a mummy.

Our other neighbors who we love, have a little girl, Samantha and her and Brenna are like peas and carrots. The girls made pizza (with a little help from Jeno) last week





and it was delish. Jeno is such a good cook, he should have been a chef. Seriously.

I am hoping to get my thank you notes started today, the list is long and I don't want to forget anyone that has helped my family over the past four weeks.

Brenna is off from school, and I'm hoping to get her to the beach or park for some fresh air and a little picnic.

Hope your day is amazing!

Oh my goodness! I was just reading back in your blog posts about the tree. How scary! Thank God you are all okay. Hope things get settled sooner rather than later, and you can welcome that new baby girl to the world with peace of mind. Hang in there.
