First, we are all fine. Our house is fine. The kids are fine. Thank you for all of the concern and messages/calls/text and generous offers of help. It means so much to us. We have power back (obviously because I’m posting) and we were very, very lucky from what we can see on the news. We are located on the bayside in Barnegat, NJ, next to Long Beach Island. As travel was very restricted, we couldn’t go further than our own neighborhood, but wanted to document what we could from there.

Some things we did to pass the time: Shadow puppets, silly string, teddy bear wrestling and speakers from a glass <—totally works!
And while we were in our little bubble, our surrounding areas were demolished. Images below from app.com

There are still many people in our area without power and in need of specific supplies. The best way to help is by contacting agencies who are prepared to and experienced to deal with these disasters. Go to www.redcross.com to make a financial donation or to volunteer your time.
