Atlanta Flooding

Well, this is the worst we got by us:

One puddle we had to go find in the parking lot, and some nice bigger puddles out back along the edge of the woods:
We were very blessed not to be affected by all of the flooding of the past week in our area! Nine people lost their lives, mostly while in vehicles trying to drive through flooded roads. One was a two year old boy who was swept from his dad's arms while trying to escape their flooding mobile home (the dad, and mom who was holding their one year old, had to cling to trees among rushing water for 6 hours before rescue came). Many people lost everything, because around here no one has flood insurance. Thousands of others were out of power. The only thing we had to deal with was a leak in our kitchen ceiling. Seriously, so blessed!

That is unbelievably sad about the family with the two year old. I am so glad you guys are safe and Sawyer can splash in puddles outside instead of in his room.
