We’ve now been without power for 30 hours, however, we are doing quite well considering. I finally got out of the house today and found a McDonald’s with WiFi.
The boys think the power outage is a scream and they are having the time of their lives. We are staying warm thanks to our natural gas fire place. We are also able to cook with the gas cook stove and on top of all those blessings, we also have hot water. On the down side, Wade will have a mess to clean up in the backyard. Our trees have not weathered the storm well at all.

The oaks are having the toughest time, since they still had a few leaves on them. Notice how the tops of all the trees are bent over.
The ice is weighing down the trees and they are laying on top of our playground.
Wade’s muscle car finally has teeth and a beard.

I can’t believe Wade left his baby parked outside!
This is such a mess – I’m ready for life to return to normal.
