Yesterday we had a brush with the uber-powerful tropical storm Hanna. It came tearing up the coast and was certain to bring with it 60+ mph winds and inches upon inches of rain. Officially they say that we got 1.7 inches of rain. A far cry from the 7+ that they were talking about. Unfortunately I think our friends in New England were hit with the wet side of the storm.
We did get a little wind, but I'll tell you what...Hanna was no Ernesto!!!
Anyhow, this was Julia's first big storm. It's hard to even fathom how many more like this she'll see in her lifetime. But how would she handle it? Would she be anxious and frightened by the thunder and the sound of the wind battering our home? Or would she be relaxed, at total ease and maybe even a bit curious about what was happening?
This picture ought to help answer those questions:
She slept...and slept...and slept some more. She pretty well slept through the day. As it stands she's getting a solid 10 hours a night. There's only one other person I know who could sleep that well at night and still take a series of naps during the day...she's clearly learning a lot from her Momma!
I'm going to spend the rest of my morning cleaning up the four twigs that Hanna left in her wake in our back yard. I just hope that I have enough time to get the cleanup done before football starts.

You do not have any twigs in your yard, oh yeah that is because I cut the try down while you were sleeping. HAHA
