While Uncle Nick and Great-Grandma Virginia were visiting, we had a terrible storm! Hundreds of thousands of people lost power, all of the area rivers flooded, cars and homes were destroyed by trees, and there is destruction all over. We lost power on Sunday morning and spent the day "camping out," eating dry food from the cupboard, and taking turns holding Darla to keep her warm. Eventually, we had to go to a hotel because it got too cold. Poor Nick and Grandma came all the way here only to have to check into a hotel! We certainly didn't plan to take Darla for her first night away from home so soon. Notice the mountain of stuff we packed for one night! We were SO glad to come home again to a warm apartment on Monday night.
Our camp-out picnic lunch from the pantry...applesauce, crackers, and peanut butter sandwiches.

Daddy keeps Darla warm...notice the SMILE!!!
Mommy keeps Darla warm in bed.
Here is all the stuff for one night in the hotel...pack 'n play, bouncer, and tons of blankets, burp clothes, diapers, wipes, and on and on....we packed a lot because 1.) we didn't know how long we would have to stay...they were saying it could be days and 2.) we had to go 45 minutes from home in order to find a hotel with a vacancy; all area hotels were booked!
