November 1

Yesterday Abe left for a business trip, and since our power still wasn't on the boys and I checked into a hotel! The only rooms that our hotel had were ones with a jacuzzi tub - the boys had a great time taking their bath last night! Thankfully the power came back on at our house sometime this afternoon - we were all so thankful to be back at home and be warm. Although the three days that our power was out seemed so long as we were going through it, I'm so grateful that we are able to live in our house, keep it heated and keep food on the table. All I could think about for the last three days was that there are so many people who would be cold all winter and not just when a big storm hit.

Changing gears...

This week is community helpers week at Riley's school. Monday they had a visit from a mailman, and today a police officer visited. They each got to take home this officer's trading card.
