We are all crossing our fingers hoping that it escapes the worst of the damage but it needs to keep moving more to the west.  Depending on the track it takes we will probably see some rain and winds even where we are.<\/p>\n<p>Alex is very interested in the storm and a couple of times a day he goes on line to check out it&#8217;s projected path and where it has been.  He spent about 40 minutes today going through hurricane history and was way excited when he found one named Alex.<\/p>\n<p>The boys are excited that Grandma and Grandpa are in town and Andrew is thrilled that they brought the dogs with them.  A couple of years ago, heck, even a couple months back, he was pretty freighted of them but lately he has been getting more comfortable around them. The last two nights he has even helped Grandpa take them for a walk.  McKenzie is getting up there in the years and isn&#8217;t as spry as she used to be which works out real well for Andrew since he can handle her by himself.  <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday he was telling Grandpa in a very sad voice that &#8220;We don&#8217;t have a pet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"\" width=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mceachernfamily.com\/blog\/images\/2008\/IMG_0677.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 800px;\" title=\"\" alt=\"Alex and Andrew Helping walk with dogs.\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"\" width=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mceachernfamily.com\/blog\/images\/2008\/IMG_0682.jpg%22\" style=\"max-width: 800px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"\" alt=\"Andrew with Mackenzie\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gustav is slowly working it&#8217;s way towards New Orleans and Bob and Pat have evacuated to our place where we are anxiously awaiting where it will come ashore.
