After the storm.... playing outside. 8 yrs. Marriage anniversary today :)

Today was the first day we were able to play outside, it is raining again right now so we are waiting for it to clear up a bit and dive into the pool before it starts raining again and before swimming season is over. We're going to have to cut down a tree that is falling on the neighbor's house (or our house).

It was a nice yet somewhat rainy day out today. We had fun rollerblading/biking.

Tropical Storm Fay @ the Varriale-G. home

Maria gives a shout out (Luis Armando style) to everyone.

This is a peek at our front driveway.... our gardener (AKA Luca) has his work pretty much cut out for him. Looks like he'll be working all weekend to fix the garden up.
This is one of our trash cans, the other one ended up about 2 houses away from ours (we've yet ventured out to recouperate it)....
Other than that, we were pretty lucky, unlike a lot of the Sanford residents which have been flooded.

We had a little visitor (about the size of my fist) outside, right before the storm.

Visitors came and went, then came Tropical storm Fay or was it Hurricane Fay? Well either way Fay didn't want to go away. She came and lingered for the longest time, we've had record rain amounts, lucky for us that we haven't flooded (yet). They are expecting much more rain in the next 5 days.

Maria and Aurora have started school, although they've attended only 2-3 days so

far because of visitors or storm related absences. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up, they look soooo cute in their uniforms. Maria LOVES her new school and Aurora loves "Miss Shwabline" her new teacher and keeps singing a "Miss Swabline, Miss Swabline, good morning to youuuuu" song, which is adorable.

That's all for now.

I've been updating some pictures on facebook, for anyone that doesn't have facebook here is the link:
