Jack had a new phrase today - "I work." And boy, did he work. We had water leak into our bedroom through the hole knocked out for the addition. Jack decided he had to help Grandma Elaine vacuum up. At first he was satisfied just holding the cord for her, but then he had to actually push the vacuum itself back and forth. He also insisted on carrying the bucket to the bathroom to be emptied and carried the bucket back for more vacuuming.

The creek was also out of its banks and well into our yard today. It was pretty close to the level of a couple weeks ago. We estimated we had about 4 inches of rain so far. More rain is predicted for tonight into tomorrow.

Jack also got his 2nd hair cut today. Yes, we kept the curls, but at least he doesn't look like a girl anymore! He sat much more nicely than last time (thanks to a bribe of Reece's Pieces from Grandma Elaine). And thanks Jenn - my hair is so much better now that you're back!!
