North Dakota Flooding

I am the guy with the gray helmet with white and black stripes. These pictures are from today. They were sent out nationally and are all over CBP.net and our IDS (information display system) that is a 24 hour streaming TV. I am in alot more but this is all I could get sent to me for now. Our ATV team was on the local ABC news and we are the real A-team of this whole FEMA thing. It feels good to be kind of a big deal.Yes that is solid ice on my jacket. We had some nasty freezing rain this morning.

I am riding the ATV with the red first aid bag in all of the pictures.

Personality

My children are constantly surprising me. Like today when I came upstairs and found this. Aaron's reply when I sent him a picture, "Wow she's good." Penelope had come upstairs with me and was watching me closely for a reaction. When she saw that I was amused she asked if she could have some. "Grab a spoon." And then there was yesterday when Penelope was doing her crafting thing and made a crown for Sullivan. Not sure he appreciates the thoughtfulness. And then there's the baby who will snuggle up to Daddy's chest and stay there forever. Does Mom get snuggles? Oh no! Mom means food and diaper changes and sleep.

And Aaron is the only one who can get Sullivan to giggle like this.

But I do get lots of smiles and love.
