Let there be LIGHT!

Whew! We have power again! What a crazy windstorm we had on Sunday. The power went out and it took a few days to get it back. It was quite interesting bathing the kiddos by flashlight. Fortunately, we are early risers and we hit the sack pretty much when the sun goes down so it wasn't THAT bad. We still had hot water the whole time--THAT would have thrown us for a loop if we didn't. We did have one big adventure though. Nate had breathing problems on Sunday night...he was wheezing horribly and couldn't catch his breath---normally we nebulize him to get it under control..but with no power that posed a bit of a problem. Aaron headed to Walmart in the middle of the night (they were open and had power) and bought a power inverter to hook to the cigarette lighter in the car. We hauled Nate out of bed and took him to the car to give him a breathing treatment and the inverter blew- the nebulizer was too powerful. AHHH! Needless to say we had a SLEEPLESS night- but didn't need to call 911. We were able to make it to a friend's house in the am that had power and he is doing better now.

I have included a picture of poor Neve's arm. We were doing puzzles in the playroom with the kids and Neve got too close to what Nate was doing and he took a big ol' chomp out of her. Bad Nate. Poor Neve. I try to tell myself that all siblings do this and Nate is no exception. lol. Is it wrong that I was happy that he at least acknowledged she was there? ;)
