In the Dark

Living in the great pacific northwest has never been so exciting - or difficult! We've been hit with some big storms this winter, but last Thursday was a major wind storm that put us all in the dark for days. I think I heard something like more then a million people in WA and OR have been without power for multiple days.

Its always been more of an adventure then anything when the power goes off . . . but with animals and now the baby - it isn't fun, it is tough! We are so thankful that we had a wonderful place to go to stay warm. My parents let us drag all our stuff over there - twice during the last 4 days to keep warm. We first lost power with everyone else on Thursday night and so we went over Friday morning to my parents. Then it came back on on Saturday night. We came home and dumped everything in the fridge and I ran out and replaced everything. Then the power went back off on Sunday night. Yikes - I was praying the power came back on before everything spoiled again! Luckily it did. But we've packed and unpacked enough for a while. There is so much to think of for Addison, bath stuff, food stuff, clothes, toys, bouncy chair, etc.

But don't worry we kept Addison nice and warm. Here are a couple picks from our adventures.

Addison stayed warm in her lamb suit:


Addison didn't seem to suffer any ill effects of the commotion - she's snoozing away:
