quaking in our boots


call the authorities!

3 out of 4 of us were shaken awake at 5:06 am by a 3.6 magnitude earthquake that rattled the washington, dc area -- the first one since 1974!

mommy thought the purple line of the metro had been built overnight -- under our house!

jack thought it was a plane crashing.

daddy claims he thought it was an earthquake all along -- though his claim was a little ex post facto ...

annie ... well, annie never made a peep. we think she slept through it!

and it wasn't only the authorities who needed calling this morning ... we also got backup daycare on the horn.

mamaxana is down with a non-earthquake induced illness and so the kids are off to the center for the day.

we'll have a full report next week!
