We're thawing out...

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers over the

last few days... after losing our electricity around 3am

on Monday - we stuck it out home till late-

morning and decided that being cold under

our parkas was about all we could handle.. so off

to find somewhere warm with our munchkins in tow.

Dad's house lost power by noon and off hotel

hunting we went. Shawn and I felt like Joseph and Mary

looking for an inn. All the hotels within 45 miles were

booked and had waiting lists of over 100 people already.

After 2 hours on the phone with hotels and and hour

at the Double Tree lobby area we were able to get

a room for the night. Apparently Double Tree had

a computer freeze and lost some reservations.

We lost about 6 trees (nothing compared to our

neighbors though) altogether... Power was

restored around 5ish on Tuesday

THANK YOU PSO!!!! We were so excited

to have power back I think we jumped and

danced for a good 15 minutes

There were lines of people everywhere - even

McDonalds was running out of food. You know

it's bad when you have to wait over an hour for

fast food. We'll be better prepared next time...

I sign off with a pic of my happy baby sleeping

soundly in front of a nice cozy fire...
