Pictures of the washed out driveway

When we went to meet Baby Madelyn yesterday, the driveway at their house started washing away before we got there and soon after, it was a chasm in the road -- more details from yesterday's post.

Chattanooga's great!

Today we took our kids for a little train ride! It was so much fun. The boys, especially Luke, loved it. One of the best things about this town is all the fun family stuff there is to do. I love it.

Baby Madelyn

We finally got to go see Baby Madelyn yesterday, which was wonderful. She was so cute and sweet, but I forgot to take pictures, of course. I did not, however, forget to take pictures of the other part of our day that was terribly exciting. When we arrived at their house, the creek that used to flow UNDER their driveway was flowing over it and the edge of the driveway had already washed away. We didn't think it was safe to drive over it. Greg's brother Roger came down with his 4-wheel-drive-Ranger and drove us in turns up to their house. Greg left to go to the grocery store. By the time Greg got back, that section of the driveway was gone, and in it's place was a 10ft wide, 10ft deep chasm. Roger managed to find a way to drive his Ranger through the woods and out a neighbor's driveway, so they can at least come and go from their house as they need to, but they have a big job ahead of them to fix that driveway, unfortunately.

Washing little girls' clothes

One lesson I quickly learned about little girls clothes: You have to wash all pieces of the same outfit at the same time. Many of Elsi's outfits consist of two pieces, especially dresses and bloomers. If you don't wash them both together, one will inevitably get pink because of other stuff in the load with it! How did I come to know this, you might ask? Not telling. . .
