Vegas anyone??!

I'm sure all of you by now have heard about the fires going on here. Yes, they are close to use, but we aren't in an danger... yet. I don't think we will be either. There are over a dozen fires going on between San Diego and LA. We're in between both those places. In fact the closest fires are about 10 minutes away from us in both directions. I believe those are all 100% contained. The winds here ares still going strong. It's like hurricane weather minus the rain. This is what I woke up to this morning, it's our backyard...

I had to take A his flight suit in just in case they had to help with the water dumping. Fallbrook, the town we go through had to evacuate & then they closed the highway. Luckily there was a very back roads type of way for us to take. By the time A was let out of work that was all closed. The only open highway was I-5 north & EVERYONE was taking that, so it's bumper to bumper. The exit off of that is farther north than us, near another fire. That road, 74 is under construction. Parts of it goes down to 1 lane for 2 ways of traffic. Not good in this case. He says he's barely moving & it will take him hours to go home. I think it's going to be a soup & sandwich night. IF we have to evacuate, my plan is to go to Vegas. Might as well have some fun, right??!! LOL It's about a 4 hour drive. Hopefully that's not where everyone else decides to go, too. The in-laws have been evacuated. They were going to try to come up here, but with the highway closures they could only go south. Hopefully their house is ok. MIL said they were going to try & go back tomorrow. If they can't get back in they might try to come up here. A is suppose to fly out tomorrow. I hope he can get to the airport. WOW, the winds are starting to really pick back up. Some how the weather people seem to think that we will only have these winds for another 24 hours. They don't normally have the best track records. I don't think I will get my trip to Vegas. I'm just hoping for a better nights sleep. The wind scared R, so he ended up in bed with us. He flops all around.

L had her 4 month check up today. She's average for height & weight. It's neat to compare R & L. L is 24" tall and weighs 13lbs 4oz. R at this age was 24" tall, too, and weighed 13lbs 12oz. I was pretty sure L would weigh more than he did. Dr. R gave the go ahead to start her on rice cereal. He said in a few days I could introduce a food if I wanted to.

I'll update when I know more.
