Red Polka Dots

This week has been a crazy week. We had an unexpected earthquake on Tuesday and let's be honest, it freaked me out! The lights on ceiling was moving back and forth and I was getting really dizzy. I work on 16th floor and September 11 was flashing through my mind. All I could think of at that moment was to grab all my things and run down 16 flights of stairs. The whole building was evacuated and we didn't know that it was a 5.9 earthquake until we were outside. We couldn't call anyone because all phone lines were down. I couldnt reach my husband to make sure that him and Kaylee were safe. Thanks goodness for Facebook because that was my only way of contacting him at the moment. I came home and gave Kaylee many kisses that day.

Now that I'm over the earthquake, I have to think about the hurricane this weekend. We are looking at Cat. 2 and it will reach our area on Sunday at 2am with approx. over 100mph! Yikes! We got a letter from our CEO saying this is a serious storm and that we should take tomorrow off to prepare for it. So I am blogging a bit early so that I can spend all day tomorrow cleaning up the house and getting ready for Irene..so bring it on Irene!!!




Daddy was home during her weekly shoot and she was a happy girl!



This happens all the time, Coco would butt in to try to get my attention while I'm taking photos of Kaylee. Kaylee doesnt seem to mind though.

She's always smiling and laughing every time the dogs are around.

She also love touching them but our chihuahua doesn't like it at all. He doesnt like to sit too close to her as you can see lol




When we broke the news to Kaylee about earthquake and hurricane all in one week, she was pretty shocked too!


I hope you have a great weekend, and if you are in the east coast..be safe! Here is the link to the American Red Cross to prepare for the hurricane!

    I am in the east coast with you but the earthquake didn't phase me. I think it's because #1 I am from CA and #2 I wasn't in a big building. Now the hurricane that is a new monster I am still getting used to on the EC. We had our first tornado while I lived here earlier this year and that was insane so I am wondering what this might bring.

    anyhow, these pictures are adorable! I especially love her dress and the puppies!!

    These photos are INSANELY adorable!!! Little Miss Kaylee looks great in red too.

    What a week, girl!! We evacuated twice when Katrina and Ike threatened our area because I didn't want to risk staying (that was before baby was born). I was pregnant when Ike striked. We lost power for a few days aftermath and I heard it was quite miserable. We would do the same thing if anything over category 3 headed our way. Be safe Yvonne.

    Kaylee is so adorable- she's very smiley and the dogs/ shocked faces were too funny.

    Stay safe in the storm- I'll be hunkering down for tomorrow night as well.

    I can't believe they gave you guys the day off to 'prepare' for the hurricane. I guess you're a lot closer to the coast than I am.

    It certainly has been an eventful week! I hope you guys stay safe.

    I LOVE the pictures of Kaylee smiling, especially knowing that she was smiling at her daddy!

    I hope you're safe and with your loved ones now. It's terrible to read or hear news about the earthquake and hurricane but it touches the heart more when I read a personal encounter about it.

    Stay safe and take care!

    Kaylee is absolutely a darling; your dogs too! So cute!

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
