Back to School... sort of...

Well Emily has been back in school exactly two days. She really likes her new teacher and we are getting back in to the routine. Although she was placed in a different class to most of her friends she is as unflappable as ever and is making the most of it. Lisa worries more than she does.

Mark thinks it's terrible that Emily is only back in school for six weeks before she has a term break of one week, but now she may get a break even earlier. Lovely but angry Hanna, who is now officially a tropical storm, will probably be a hurricane by the time she reaches us on Tuesday night - which means a "Bahamian snow day" for Emily.

We are only on the edge of the projected path but if you check out this weather website it says that the wind will be about 57mph. The winds are at about 14mph today and the coconuts are flying off of our trees.

Add to that - we just discovered that our hurricane shutters don't, in reality, screw in to the wall. They look very pretty but aren't exactly functional (sounds like a lot of our house). Looks like we know what we are doing over the next few days.
