Challenges, that make up STRONGER!

It started out as a typically Saturday, October 29th evening.   The boys were getting excited for Halloween and were trying on different costumes to find the perfect one.    We watched the evening news and found out that Nor'easter was heading our way!    Here the boys are looking out the window in excitement as the snow is starting to fall.........

 Ryan called Nana to tell her the exciting news.   Little did we know what to expect next.......out went the lights around 5pm.......  As we laid in bed that night, we could hear tree limbs cracking and then nervously wait until we heard if crash to the ground.   We were very lucky that none hit our house.

There the boys are playing in the snow.  They even build a snowman. (Baby Sean was taking a nap)

As the days with power continued, the house continued to get colder.    

    Little did me know that we could not get power back until the following Saturday.   A whole week without power!

As difficult as it was, it has made us stronger!    We took the kids out to Dennys and Taco Bell for dinner.   Something we never would have done before.  They were all so well behaved and it was a great experience.    This experience also helped me put things into perspective.     I now have an attitude of gratitude!
