Lenna is always quite serious when she plays with the bead table at the library. Meanwhile, we had our first snowstorm of the fall/winter. About 4 inches total.

November 6

My Halloween crew! The girls finally got to celebrate Halloween at school, so I put everyone in a costume to get a photo. No trick-or-treating this year, thanks to the Hurricane.

I'm glad the squirrels were well fed this fall.

Becky being silly wearing Anthony's slippers. It was good to get things back to normal after a crazy week.

Our power came back on late Friday, so we headed home Saturday morning. The fallen brances had been cleaned up so we were able to get a good look at the damage to the fence. There were piles of cut up trees all over town Saturday.

November 2

Finally some progress - the town sent out trucks to start removing all the fallen trees. This one was removed late Friday and PSE&G arrived Saturday to get the power lines hooked up.

November 1

Becky fell down the stairs at Dad's house and got a nice bruise on her head. The girls really enjoyed ice cream cones after dinner!

October 31

We thought some donuts would cheer the girls up on a very cold Halloween morning. We ventured over to my Dad's; this tree fell right across his street taking down his power lines.

Hurricane Sandy, Day 2. We all slept downstairs, which was quite the adveture. Some branches from the big oak next door fell on our fence, and we had some roof shingles and some siding blow off but no major damage. There were a lot of uprooted trees all over the neighborhood, many of them taking power lines down.

Hurricane Sandy, Day 1. I took this late in the afternoon. For the most part it was windy, but not too windy. And we didn't get a whole lot of rain. The wind really didn't kick in until night.
