Lukey did great on our evacuation trip! He stayed at his dad's house in Beaumont for hurricane Ike and then we all evacuated after we stayed in Beaumont for a couple of miserable days. We went to Arkansas to stay with a friend of my mom's and we had a good time actually. We drove about 7 hours each way and did so with no crying and no meltdowns, see attached photos- candy is the key!
We ate a lot of lollipops and M & M's and lots of Skittles- hey whatever works huh? We stayed in Arkansas for about 5 days and then came home after we had some of our friends and family resumed power and we could return home and stay with them. I got power back at my house after 6 days and it was great to return home! We felt like gypsies for a while so it was so good to be back in my own bed. My back has been killing me for a few days- I hope the return home will help- don't want a pinched sciatic nerve repeat!
Lucas did a lot of talking while we were gone- he said Hi Mark, Hi Jack, I love you daddy, and so many other's I can't remember. He did great- I am so proud of him.
