I never thought I'd have to worry about wildfires living in southeast Texas. This fire started yesterday (labor day) afternoon. We had family over and some of them noticed a huge pillar of smoke, and it just kept getting bigger and darker. I have to say, I was pretty worried. I think the fire started only 3 miles away from us. Luckily (for us) the wind was blowing it away from us, but a lot of people have been affected by it and I am so sad! It could have easily been us that had to evacuate and I am so thankful that our house was protected. I know it sounds silly but even this little close call puts things in perspective. If I had less than 30 min. to evacuate what would I grab? How would I react? I hope I'm never faced with the reality of having to do something like that and I pray for those who were affected by this!*
Below are some recent pictures that Carly has drawn. She is quite the artist with quite the imagination.
This one is a picture of one of our cats "Smudge"
This is a drawing of Dolly our dog, complete with a cut that she had on her head. 
This one is my personal favorite. This is Nanny our goat.

I love Carly's artwork she takes after her mommy in the art department.
I am so glad that the fire did not blow in your direction and am saddened for the people that it reached. I hope that not many lost their homes.
Not so sure I am likeing three of my daughter living away right now. I feel like I need to take you all in and put you under my mommy wings and protect you all. But I know that the Lord is watching out for you so I will let Him do that for me. Love you
I am so happy to hear that the fire did not make it your way. That is one of my worst nightmares for sure.
Carly's artwork looks great. I love the picture of Nanny as well. :)
That picture of Nanny kills me! What a little artist you have!
And please, please be safe. If needed, the offer still stand, you can move to MN, we'd (and my we I mean mostly me) would love it.
Nice artwork, Carly!
