Sandy update...

We are all fine after Sandy blew through on Monday. Our neighborhood had heavy wind gusts on Monday and into Monday evening. We lost power at 8:30 p.m. on Monday and still don't have it back on.

Thankfully my brother-in-law and sister-in-law have power, so we came to their house on Tuesday afternoon to stay with them.

Other than a few branches in our yard, our house is fine. We feel blessed after so much devastation throughout our state and in New York City.

Neither Sarah or Brayden's school have power. Sarah's school is taking it day by day. Brayden's is closed until Monday. 

So, all is well on our end. The kids are enjoying being at Aunt Susie and Uncle Johnny's house and with their cousins Sammy and Stephen. John & Susie live in a two family home, so our youth pastors and good friends Dan and Bridget live upstairs and for the past few weeks our other friends Mike, Kelly and their daughter Stella have been living in the basement while their apartment is being repaired. Our other friends Todd and Samantha from Newark who are out of power came to stay with as well. It has been a big party and the kids are loving being with everyone.

The crew!
