Long missing update

It's been a while since we've posted an update. Since our trip to Taiwan, we have survived the long hot summer. There were a few scares of hurricane and tropical storms, that really got us working on our food storage and 72 hours kit. In Oct, we finally moved into our new home and have been spending every weekend ever since buying stuff for the home. Daniel's sister and family moved in with us while they are completing their home across the street from us. Our little nephew, Enoch has been keeping everyone busy, putting anything he holds into his mouth. He has also been bringing home flu bugs that gets the whole family sick. In Nov, we realized that we had forgotten to transfer the electricity account name from the builders to ours. We had a 2 day power outtage! The 72 hour kit really came in useful in lighting up the house during the night. With no power, all of us went out for Chinese buffet for dinner and slept really early that night. Thank goodness we still had hot water cos our water heater is gas powered. Thanksgiving was the best. Tim and Crystal were our first guests. They spent Thanksgiving and the weekend with us. Moving to Houston where we didnt know anyone, we have not hung out with people of our age for a long time. Too bad it was really cold when they were here. (really cold as in the 40s but the day after they left, it warmed back up to 70s) Thanks you guys for visiting and for the Christmas gifts. Daniel's mum loves the throw. She was looking for one. I guess you guys have most of the pictures so I'll let you post them.
