We had a good, if busy, labor day weekend.

A tree fell on our house; we're hoping it didn't do too much damage, but we need to have it cleared away. When we heard it fall, we were reading bedtime stories to Erin. David told her it was just an animal jumping across the roof (really, we hadn't been outside yet, and didn't know the situation). In typical two-year-old fashion, she became obsessed, asking more questions than we could ever answer before bedtime.

She was still talking about it the next day. By then, according to Erin, it was a raccoon named Walter who was wearing a hat and jumped off of the house and onto the sidewalk where he was heading home to get help from his mama.

I'd like to meet this Walter and talk to him about what really happened.
