Ice Storm

This past week here in Kansas on Monday night, we had a huge ice storm. It knocked out the power in most of the town for at least a day. Some people are still without power. We lost it for about 24 hours and would have been fine if it wasn't for our 3 week old baby we needed to keep warm. I stayed at the house all day and we ate dinner with some friends that were kind enough to feed and house us. We then spent the night in the break room of the green house where John's uncle Lloyd works. They had a generator going and pulled out a couple of mattresses they had laying around. It wasn't ideal, but it was warm. The pictures are of our trees that fell and thankfully didn't hurt the house. I made a huge mess, but the ice is beautiful. Today it is 50 outside. Kansas weather is so weird!

I kept wondering about you when I heard about the ice storm. I'm glad you found a warm place to go.

The trees look very pretty with all the ice... It looks cold though.

Hope little Addison is doing well.

I can relate. Although our power was only out for 11 hours, but my baby niece was here and so we put her by the fireplace.

Now, show us more baby pictures!!!
