Hurricane Ike Evacuees

Hurricane Ike resulted in lots of people without electricity, including just about everyone we know who lives in Houston. Most people got their electricity on within a few days, but Aunt Tiana, Uncle John and new baby cousin Jonas weren't so lucky. So they came to stay with us (how lucky is that?!). They stayed for almost a whole week, and Jonas and Bennett had a great time waking each other up at night.Jonas & Bennett
On their last day here, we all went to the zoo. Jonas slept the entire time, and Bennett finally got to have a good time at the zoo. On previous trips, Bennett was the blob, but what a difference a year makes! Here is Bennett with Daddy and Uncle John.
