A rainy day...

 Actually, that's an understatement.  It's been pouring!!  We've got a slight gap in the weather now, but the next cold front is on its way and there's more heavy weather on the way next week.  Sitting at work yesterday, I didn't even realise that it was raining.  I mean it was drizzly and we had a lengthy downpour at one point, but I didn't think it was raining that much.  Until I left the office!  I was glad I had my camera with me, so I snapped a few to share.  The top picture is across the road from our office.  You can see how far under water the poles are.

Below shows the whole road, if you look carefully, you can see the parking lines and the grey drive way I had to go up to park.  That's a lot of water...

 This is the road my folks live on.  The water is pavement high...

 And this one just around the corner from Jake and my house...

 More shocking though are the photos that are doing the rounds now, these ones came from Jo this morning...

 It's insane - my little car could never have made it!  The water has dried up really quickly though and even in the hour between when I took my photos and when I collected Jake from school, the water level had dropped substantially.  I'm just so grateful to have a roof over my head and a warm bed to snuggle into...

Because of the flooding, my mom couldn't get into town to take Corky and Bi to Jo, so they landed up spending the night with my folks.  I took them with to fetch Jake from school and he was very happy to see them in the car waiting for him.  He was even more excited when we got to my mom's house to drop his cousins off, to see that my mom had made them flapjacks as a treat.  Jake and Corky seem to have turned a little corner with each other and Jake is really trying very hard to be extra nice to Corky...

 Be wanted to be in on the action too...

  Oh, it's so nice (and less stressful) when they all get on...

 A big smile for mommy...

my precious heart, freckle-face...

 Not the greatest photo, I know, but just so you can see how comfortable they all were together...

 Bi loved the little photo-shoot, every time the flash went off, she shouted 'more'...

Bi recently told someone that her name is Princess Bi... guess these things stick in their minds...

 Ta-daaaaa...

Jo, I wanted to wash her face for you, I really did, but she looked too cute full of chocolate spread!!

Hope you're all keeping warm and dry!  Snuggle up, it's still gonna get nasty.

Lots of love,
