storm watching

We just wanted to let everyone know that we're prepared for Hurricane Ike, and you shouldn't worry about us. We're far enough from Houston that we're not in danger. We'll probably have some wind and rain and maybe some power outages. We've got all the water and batteries we need, and we're moving all our outdoor stuff into the garage. After that it's just a matter of waiting it out. There's no reason to worry about us--we'll just be stir crazy by Sunday morning. Keep those who live on the coast in your prayers.
