Louisville Flooding

Monday, Feb 28 2011.

Our house was once again under water. It flooded before in 2003

and that was supposed to be the 100 year flood. Just thankful that

this flood was not as bad as the last one. Still very frustrating and

heartbreaking. Insurance company is telling us that they will not

cover any personal property. Gotta love government insurance. :)The back yard after the water had gone down.

Yoder's Collision's parking lot. The water was half

way up the truck.

Our basement.....

The shelves that Travis's toys were on. He is upset

about losing them :( Especially his hotwheels, so

we took him to get some new ones.

Ahhh the clothes in the dryer!!!

Trying to keep the water off of the floor...

The basement after the water was pumped out

Sludge anyone? :)

One of Trav's hotwheels cases

He had three full ones and a tub full.

This is about 1/4 of the trash that we now have.

Feeding the Chickadees

We took advantage of the nice weather and went to feed the chickadees at

Beech Creek Botanical Garden in Alliance Ohio. This s a nice place to visit all year round

but I will have to say I prefer to go in the summer time. Ahhh Travis finally got a bird to land on his hand
Halie didn't want to feed the birds so she read her book :)

Travis waiting for a chickadee to come.

When feeding the chickadees there is alot of waiting.
