Power Outage Blues

Luckily, we live far enough east that we are not getting the full force of the vicious storms raging through the midwest. But, we do get some pretty big storms all the same. Our area has had 4 major power outages in the last 3 weeks.

One of these power outages lasted several days during 100 degree weather. Luckily we had a friend whose home did not lose power and they had an extra room. We got to escape the heat. Ethan enjoyed getting out of the heat but was a little more enthusiastic about the visit than I thought.

The latest of these power outages was earlier this week. The power had been out for over 20 hours and we left to run errands. When we returned, we were lucky enough to have power restored. I was excited to have air conditioning and a working refrigerator. Ethan was less than enthusiastic.

Ethan, aren't you glad that we have power again.

No, I wanted to go to Heather's house.

Wow! That stinks! Having no air conditioning in the middle of a heat wave is awful! I am glad to hear that you guys are doing okay despite everything. We love and miss you guys come visit soon!

Oh man...how miserable! I cannot imagine living in that humidity without a nice comfortable thermostat set to 70 degrees and never going outside. I'm a wimp like that.
Ethan sounds like a pro in the making! It's pretty adorable even though it is probably frustrating...discipline, who needs it.
Maya is a little darling...I can't believe she's one already!
Love you guys and are wishing you electricity and good weather!
