Ernesto

This weekend, Thomas and Michael survived their first tropical storm. Tropical Storm, then Tropical Depression Ernesto was forcasted to drop anywhere from 5 - 10 inches of rain in our area. This prompted schools to be closed due to fear of flooding. If Ernesto did what forecasters were calling for, it could have been an interesting weekend. Instead of pounding us with rain and lots of wind, we received probably about 2 inches of rain, but it was a steady rain and a little wind. The kind of rain we needed. We were lucky, some parts of Virginia did get up to 10 inches of rain and had strong winds. Although it was kind of weak, Thomas and Michael can say that they have been through a tropical storm.

The Dillner family is enjoying a relaxing Labor Day weekend. We had some friends over for dinner on Saturday night and otherwise we have been pretty lazy. David is glad that he does not have to work today, so he can spend more time with Thomas and Michael. Tomorrow the boys go back to the peditrician. We will post a full update of the doctor's report, including weight and length, tomorrow.
