| Waiting for Frankenstorm to arrive |
People to the North and East of us experienced some serious flooding and property damage, and there was almost 2 feet of snow to the West. Luckily, all we saw was 40mph winds and 6in of rain. And our power was out for 48 hours.
The best part was right when it happened, Jenna looked all around and said "Did everything run out of batteries?"
We were pretty well prepared with flashlights and blankets, and only lost a couple of things in our fridge. Paul even took two days off work and we actually had fun finding things to do all day, such as finally carving our pumpkin, a new 3D puzzle, and teaching Jenna to sound out simple words (playing teacher).
It turned out to be a bit of an adventure! Showering with flashlights was kind of fun... The worst part was not being able to cook anything. And the fact that it was slowly getting colder. Liam and I spent most of today cuddled up underneath a big blanket!
Still, it wasn't as bad as this past July when that freak storm hit and we were out of power for 5 days in over 100 degree weather. Oh, and I was 7 months pregnant! It got so bad that we used Paul's Dad's timeshare at the Hilton for 2 nights (Aah, how wonderful a relief that was!).
Our power is back now, but there are still thousands of people without power, or even their homes. Please join us in praying for these families!

Glad y'all survived the storm! I think one day without power is exciting, but after that it gets old very very quickly.
I am so glad you are OK and have power. Thanks for posting the info and the pictures. The pumpkins are cute and the kids are SUPER cute!
