Hurricane Ike

Ike had made his way down to a tropical storm by the time it came by Waco today and we only got about 1/2 inch of rain. A few wind gusts were fairly strong but nothing more than we have seen before living up here on a hill.
We watched the news until 1am and the dog woke me up around 5:30am so I turned the tv back on. Ty had a football game this morning at 9am and was supposed to be there by 8:30. We thought everything would be cancelled so we didn't really bother getting up and getting ready. Around 8:30 I realized we weren't going to get much rain for a little while and that I might should take him up there and see if they were going to play. I went in there with his clothes to wake him up and dressed him while he was telling me he hated football. We left at 8:40 and he had about 15 minutes to wake up before we would be at the school. I really thought we would get there and they wouldn't start the game because it was starting to rain a little harder. We drove up to the field at 8:55 and they had just started the game. I told him to get out and run over there. He quickley got his flags on and only missed a few plays. He ended up getting an interception, almost another one, grabbed 3 flags and made a block for a touchdown. He was very excited (and wet) after the game. They won 8-0. Of course, thinking there would be no game, I ran out of the house without any cameras.
The rest of the day we have just been watching the storm reports and football while the kids play with the neighbors. We are going out to eat with our Sunday School class tonight.
I hope those in the Houston area and Southwest LA made it through safe.
