Our "Nori-Easter" Part 2

Part 2 of the storm this week was much more exciting! Daddy was home from work for two days and we shoveled, cooked together and spent time with Nori. We were having a grand time until we lost our power on Wednesday night! With no heat, we didn't know what to do. We decided about 9pm to make the trek to a neighbor's a few blocks away. We bundled up with our "supplies" and flashlight. The two block walk felt like something out of an armagedon movie. The trees across the street were crashing down (how we lost the power line to our house) and when a transformer would go- the sky would light up in blue. Then there was a large several story fire that had billowing black smoke and orange flames coming out of it. The road we were walking up had two trees down that we carefully slipped under to make it to our destination. We thought of Mary and Joseph, we thought of Pete's parents coming to the US as refugees. Would we ever return to our homeland? Okay, so we were being a little dramatic, but having a one month old keeps you from thinking clearly.Our friends warmly welcomed us, fed us a great breakfast and sent us on our way in the morning with not only a kerosene heater, but a jug of kerosene to go with it. Thankfully, our heat was back on later that day.
Life is so different now- if it was just us, we would have probably just climbed into bed with lots of blankets. I guess she is making life more exciting in all sorts of ways!
