Flooding update

Just in case you've been wondering - here's the picture we took of the flooding in June...



... and we took this one yesterday from the same point. Pretty amazing!

Seriously?? That is the same point? I was staring at that, not believing you...but then I saw the street lights matched up. Holy Moly! That is amazing!

The kids all look much happier in the first picture with the flooding. Maybe it's time to come home to Utah? ;-)

Laura,

I know this has nothing to do with this post, although the kiddies are beautiful, but how long are you in St. Louis until?

I lost your email, but you can email me at amie.olson@realliving.com.

Mom - maybe you're on to something. But then again, maybe the first picture was taken when we arrived at the arch grounds that day, and the second one was taken as we were leaving them and mom begged the kids for ONE..... MORE..... PICTURE. :-) I guess it's still maybe a little symbolic fo how we're all feeling, it will be good to be home!

That is an amazing picture. I remember emailing you when it was happening hoping you were OK. You were so sweet and did the same when we had tornadoes in the area.

Flooding to me is amazing. It's hard to fathom with the world being as large and flat as it is that you can have standing water that lasts and lasts. I guess being from Utah (like you...) it is just a very rare thing.

It was fun to scroll down on your blog and catch up. I am happy you are 24 weeks along. I love getting past the 1/2 way point. Them I am eager to hit 28 weeks marking the 3rd trimester. I guess you could say I count down the whole time, but who doesn't. Your kids are so cute and getting so big. I always say the best indicator of time are children, they seem to change the most.

Also, I saw the side bar bit. Does that mean I have left that many comments? Man, it looks like I need to get a new hobby besides blogging. Just kidding, I love staying connected with great friends.

Hope all is well!

When are you headed back to Utah?

Hey, are you guys back in Utah yet? I'm thinking you should be soon, because school starts next week. We need to have a get together.
