We are still in Highland

We had a calm day today. I cleaned the house a little and the girls worked on some "homework". Then we went to Norton air force base to collect the mail. After that we went over to orange show to the evacuation center. The red cross is amazing! Go red cross. It seems that everyone is doing fine there. They checked us in and took our information. Then they gave the kids some coloring books and stuffed animals and fed us. They even had a razor for Cameron so he can stop being the hairy monster :) Our last stop was the church where we worked on some humanitarian projects.

As of now our house is fine. Mike is going to be going up the mountains to check out the damage and hopefully get our halloween costumes. I think the fire may decide to leave most of the town standing. Although there are plenty of houses that were completely destroyed.

It is still smoky and it will probably be awhile before we can go home.

It's good to hear that so far your house is safe. Tony and I were somewhat concerned about how you could handle another stressful event like that this year. How many times have you moved this year? J/K.
Well if you can't get their costumes, you'll have to get creative. I almost sent costume type stuff, but then thought to be a little more practical.

So the smoke smell is pretty bad, but if it makes you laugh, our house smells like skunk! One must have got squished right outside the open windows. Yuck. I wonder what the landlord would think of tomato colored carpet?
Any way thanks for keeping us informed.

I could tell you how many times I moved but then you couldn't take the survey. Anyways do we could this time or not? I think that I must feed on stress.
