Many friends and family have recently asked why didn't we have power? The answer: Hurricane Ike decided to make an impression on Ohio before it was done causing havoc in Texas and other mid-western states. Sunday, the 14th was filled with 60-70 mph winds that blew for about 6 hours. We had the pleasure of experiencing this as we drove from Cincinnati, up 71N, back home to Columbus. We witnessed stalks of corn "raining" on the highway, a blown over semi, trees splitting, limbs falling and an instant loss of power the moment we arrived home. We actually opened our garage and the lights went out...until Thursday!
So, here's a little "hello" from home. We're here, our milk is cold and our electronics are all functioning once again. A great blessing out of all of this...we got to see Nick's mom and step-dad, his sisters, brother-in-laws and nephews and niece! It turned out to be a much welcomed inconvenience! ;)
By the way, Stella is 19 months old today! Woo-hoo!!
