Things that go bump in the night...

That would be a tree...really about half of a tree...that came crashing on top of our house at approximately 1:40 a.m. today. Might I add that the window that is barely visible through the branches is our BEDROOM window! It was a horrifying sound, and, of course, it woke Owen up. We all piled into bed together after the storm passed...until 4 a.m. when another high wind came through. Richie and I double checked the attic to make sure the roof was still intact, which thankfully it is. Then we headed to the futon for a very uncomfortable couple of hours...not uncomfortable because we were on a futon--uncomfortable because Owen is hands-down the most squirmy bed fellow in the world. From 4 until 7, he rolled around, put his head by our feet, kicked us repeatedly, and then yanked the pillows out from under my head. We really are lucky that no one was injured and the house wasn't badly damaged--my back, on the other hand, might take some time to feel normal again.
