Ice Ice Baby!





So....we are here surrounded by icy trees, icy drive ways and freezing cold weather. We have been under house arrest since Monday morning due to the inclement weather. We have been blessed because we have only lost power for approximately 30 minutes. Kevin had to cancel patients on Monday and Tuesday so we have tried to make the most of the situation. It's been fun to stay home with each other and Zachary.
Kevin is getting antsy because he has a lot of work to do but can't get it done. Me on the other hand thinks this is fun! Unfortunately, Zachary is a bit under the weather. He has a bad cough, runny nose, and a couple of teeth erupting. So we are ready for the sun to come out and warm this place up. Thank God we have been safe and that we have electricity. Here are a couple photos taken from our back deck.
In the first one, it it the icicles on our upper deck.
The second photo is an inch and a half layer of ice on our deck.
(The broken pieces of ice are from our grill.
The third photo is of our neighbor's swing set.
Check out that ice!!!


UPDATE: Zachary is not just under the weather with a cold. I took him to the pediatrician this morning (Wednesday) after a long night of coughing. He was diagnosed with an ear infection combined with a severe case of congestion. Fortunately, he was given an antibiotic. Hopefully, he will be back to himself in a couple of days.

Thunderstorms, Tornados, & No Sleep

Well, as most of you know Southwest Missouri was the scene of numerous thunderstorms and tornadoes last night. I never imagined our Monday night would be so eventful. Kev, Z, and I spent most of our night watching the news, listening to the storm radio, and going downstairs. Zachary was awoken numerous times by Kevin and I to head down the the basement. Poor Kevin had to work today so I am sure he is going to be tired tonight. Anyways, we just wanted to report that we are okay, my parents are okay, my in-laws are okay, and my sister's family is okay. Thank God.

To make this blog exciting I am going to post some pictures of Z.
