"We Have Electricity!"

We had a snowstorm Sunday night into Monday morning which left us with ten inches of heavy wet snow. As a result of the storm we lost power on Sunday night and were without electricity for 18 hours. Fortunately the power was restored yesterday afternoon just before dinnertime and our Internet service just came back today. Grace was the first one to notice that the electricity was back on yesterday. She pointed to one of our digital clocks and said, "Look Mommy and Jack-a-roo-roos, we have electricity!" Grace then ran over to her art table and turned on her flower light while shouting, "Hooray!" We were all VERY excited to have the power back on - especially Mommy!

It looks like the Leger family have become pros at making the most of "powerless" days! Hope you don't have to experience too many more this winter... The ground hog did see his shadow, didn't he???

OOOoohhhh, I always feel so badly when you loose power in Maine. It isn't easy, no matter how you look at it. I know that you all try to make the very best out of a difficult situation, though. I guess that a person's true colors come out in the absence of light...and your little family is full of every color of the rainbow, shining brightly :) !!!!
What a super duper family,
Love to Each One, Maddy

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
