Yesterday

Yesterday I was faced with the reality that I really need electricity in my life.
I woke up to a dreary day. Rain. Wind and cold temps were moving into our neighborhood. Around 9:30 Gavin and I were working on our alphabet practice when a loud BOOM! not a CRACK! but a BOOM!. And our power was gone.
It was not thunder it was this.

Our neighbor's tree gave up holding its dead limb. It weighed down the lines so much it did this.

we watched

 we waited

 we learned

 we tried to stay warm by cuddling

a little over 6 hrs later we have power.  YEA!
