Austin is Five Months Old...

I never would have guessed that I would get to spend the day with Austin when he turned 5 months but as you have seen from the video's David took of Hurricane Ike it was quite a storm and cancelled school for a week.  We actually got very lucky because we didn't have any damage to the house except for our front baby tree getting pulled up from the ground.  We were only without power from 3:22 A.M. Saturday and got power back at 1:10 A.M. Sunday.  For myself and I think David would agree somewhat also Hurricane Ike was sort of a blessing because we got to spend the week with Austin.  It was especially nice to watch Austin and David spend time together.  Austin really loved having his daddy around and would give him the biggest smiles.  Being a mom is amazing and seeing your husband be a dad is also wonderful.  I have loved watching the two of them together this week (they are my two favorite men in the world).  I am hoping that this blessing of getting to spend the last 10 days with Austin won't make him have to rough of a time going back to school but I am trying to prepare myself for when I pick him up Monday the teacher telling me it was a hard day for him (which breaks my heart).  This week off has made me so excited about the other holidays we are going to get to spend together and the summer!  I know the school year just started but I would be lying if I said I can't wait for summer time.  I don't mean that in a negative way because the class I have this year is wonderful.  I just love spending time with Austin and seeing him explore his world.
