Water, water, everywhere

Last night we had a big thunderstorm. The rain did not last long, but it was one of those downpours you can barely drive through. Our house sits on a steep ledge next to a river. Well, our old foundation could not keep the water out. We have a sump pump on the lower end of the house which usually keeps us dry. This time, the water came in further up. Of course there is a carpet down there, so we have quite a mess. Fortunately we have a wet vac and a product called Abzorbit, which removes an amazing amount of moisture, so we will get the mess dried up. Now we just need to figure out how to better seal off the foundation so it won't happen again. The timing was perfect since I had already decided to take a week off from school to get the house back under control. Dan is going to take some time off work to help with the basement.


Please continue to pray for Garrett!! On Thursday, he spent the day at the Vineyard Christian School. He had a good day, and he liked the school, but he is having a hard time to make a choice. We are meeting with the principal tomorrow. Also, yesterday, was a very bad day for him. He is feeling pretty miserable right now, and he has a very busy week ahead of him. This has been a tough year for him. It is so hard to see our kids hurting!!!

This post is kind of depressing. We actually had alot of fun this weekend! Friday night, our great friends the Marquis drove up from Massachussetts to watch Dan perform in, Drood. They were able to come visit on Saturday morning. We had so much fun!!
