Louisville Power Outage... yet again.

Even though the crazy ice storm and power outage happened about 3 weeks ago now, I still thought I'd post some pictures of our happenings during that time. :-) 

Here we are in our very dark, cold apartment the first night of the outage
Pictures of the thick ice that was all over
No wonder there were so many power lines and trees down...
(here's a random pictures of Ethan before the power went out... he loves figuring out how to put all sorts of things on his head)
After barely surviving :-) in our apartment the first night, we went and stayed with our goods friends, the Reeses for a few nights.  Thanks Paul and Julie for your hospitality and generosity.  We really enjoyed our 3-night sleep-over with you guys! :-)
Bath time with Ethan's friend Maiya
Maiya and Ethan enjoyed playing together for a few days and Maiya was very thoughtful to share her fun toys

After 3 nights at the Reeses and still no power... we decided to make the 5-hour trip down to stay with the Kennedys.
Thanks Stephen, Shelley, and Addy for hosting us.  We had a great time with you and the power outage was a great excuse to come and visit you guys! 
It was so fun to see Addy and all the ways that she is changing!  She is sure close to crawling!
In preparation for HAVING A GIRL ourselves, Shelley let me dress Addy one morning!  It was sure fun and I couldn't have had a cuter girl to play "dress up" with.
Bath time with cousin Addy
So fun! (and great pictures to pull out later on in life)

The Cutie Pie
I love this picture!

Coffee Time as sisters!!  Love it!
Shell, I love hanging out with you!  I am so blessed to have sisters who are my best friends and who are such an encouragement to me!  Love you.
Umm... nothing like good coffee and good company combined. :-)
Thanks again Reeses and Kennedys for taking us in during the 6 days that we were without power.  We love and appreciate your 2 families very much!!

Jen - I have to say this post seems a little scandalous to me! Ethan taking baths with two different girls - IN ONE WEEK! :) Just kidding. I wondered why you guys headed to Tennessee and now I understand. Those ice storm picks are CRAZY!
