Hair, Hail, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar

So let's start with the easier news: Dave has officially embraced his balding state and buzzed his hair.  I have to say it actually looks pretty good.  Pictures will have to come later though, because...

Last night, we had our second major rain shower with hail since we've been here.  Marble sized hail came pouring from the sky while we ate dinner last night.  Dinner ended when I looked down at the floor and saw water streaming in through the front door from the garage, across the living room, and into the dining room.  FLOOD!  At this point the garage was already filled with at least 6 inches of water and it was streaming into the house fast.  Lauren and I (with Eli strapped to me in the Baby Bjorn) went to work mopping water out the front and back doors while the guys frantically tried to save what they could from the stuff stored in the garage and the lower storage space under the stairs (the places most of our stuff has been stored while we're staying here).  Most everything has been salvaged, but several books (including a sweet copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar) and Eli's crib mattress have been ruined.  We'll be mopping, putting the downstairs back together, and assessing the damage most of the day today.

I have to say, at this point I'm pretty excited about the 5th floor apartment we'll be moving into this weekend....
