Well...it sounds like half of Kansas City has a wet basement. Mine really isn't a disaster, so we'll get it taken care of. It was pretty crazy driving around town and looking at the overflowing creeks, rivers, and lakes today. I hope the golf courses dry up soon!
Not much to report around our house today. Emma is hopefully recovering from a viral infection that had her tonsils swollen up to where they were almost touching in the back of her throat. A visit to urgent care on Saturday proved she didn't have strep. Peighton seems to be doing fine - knock on wood.
The storms had Emma awake last night at around 3:30 AM and down in bed with me. Jen and I raised both girls to sleep in their own beds at all times and this was the first time that I let Emma sleep with me until morning. Needless to say, she thought she was a big shot and was bragging to Peighton first thing this morning. I have to admit, sharing a bed with a spouse for five years and then suddenly sleeping alone is an adjustment. It was kind of nice to wake up this morning to Emma's smiling face and a sweet "good morning." However, she is back in her bed tonight where she can kick and squirm all night long without waking me. Peighton usually sleeps like a rock, so she probably won't be joining me any time soon.
I'll post the most up to date Crawl for Cancer roster tomorrow. I hope everyone that is participating is as excited as I am. What a great week -- movie premiere and pub crawl!
For some reason I am at a loss for words today...very rare for me. I guess I am still disappointed about not being able to come this weekend. Hope everyone has a great time both Thursday night and Saturday at the CFC. :)

I think it's great that you let Emma sleep with you (on special occations) They are only small once, then....they're big and it's like pulling teeth to get some cuddle time.
Yeah, thankfully our basement is dry (our house is on a hill), but some people should be thanking God. My parents are in Florida where there has been NO rain. There are fires and it's destroying peoples entire homes.
Anyway, thanks for updating your blog. I still check several times a week and look forward to seeing how your family is doing?
