Here is the video of the fire across the street from us on July 30th. At the end you can see where someone tried to start our house on fire also. We found a burnt patch of grass and matches and remnants of a house for sale flier from down the street. In the last blog entry is a picture of Brody with Joe in his pool, that's who's house caught fire.
What a horrible experience for anyone to have to go through. I have never seen anything like it! So, after retrieving their dog and calling Joe and Kristin to let them know their house was on fire I started video taping. Brody wouldn't let me get any closer. Marissa was sleeping thank goodness. The cause of the fire is still being investigated. I had a couple sleepless nights not knowing if the arsonist was going to return to finish burning our house. Brody was pretty brave about the whole situation.
We bought a new car the next day. I didn't get much sleep so Dave and Brody went to Portland to purchase it. We bought a gold '04 Honda Odyssey (mini van) with only 17,000 miles on it. It has automatic doors and a dvd system. I love it! Brody and Dave love it too.
Marissa is still growing. She is "talking" away. She gets the biggest smile on her face when you start talking to her and smiling at her. She is sleeping about 7 hours a night! : )
Hope to see you all at Marissa's baptism on Sunday. : )
