Shake, Rattle & Roll

If we needed a reminder that we live in California, we got it tonight. After a visit from Oma, Aunt Lindsay and Stomper the Labrador, we were winding down after a late dinner when we got the full-on effects of a 5.6 earthquake. The epicenter was about 15 miles north of us, but our house got a pretty good shaking.

Nothing was damaged thankfully, just a few skewed pictures and some sippy cups falling off shelves, but it was enough for Emma to ask "Daddy, did you see the floor moving up and down?". Harley was up and at 'em immediately but Shelby decided the best approach was to stay fast asleep on the couch and not show any concerns. I imagine that Denelle and I were the most nervous ones -- me because of the creaking noises as the house moved around, and Denelle who remembers both Loma Prieta and Northridge.

Oh well... back to reality, and Dancing with the Stars. Go Helio!
