Typhoon Update

The typhoon wasn't as bad as predicted, but it was still the worst that had hit Manila in 11 years. Yes, I over-prepared the 7 kids, but we came out of it alright. In the end, we were only without power for 1.5 days. On day 12, Ellen and I handed the reins back over to two grateful (we think) parents, and enjoyed a good night's sleep in our own bed!
