Hurricane Irene-update

So, I clearly spoke too soon with my last blog post as we lost power shortly after. It wasn't so bad the first night as the A/C lingered around and it was still rainy and cool. We hoped our power would come back on, on Sunday as many of our friends did...but no such luck! It is Tuesday and we still have no power and aren't sure when it will be restored. We've been ok and our only loss was the entire freezer (though it was in need of a good cleaning out anyway). We had to drive about 15 miles to get some ice, but we were able to save all of our fridge stuff and have been able to eat what we have and use the grill in creative ways. Dan made us a nice breakfast yesterday, eggs, english muffins, and hashbrowns which was great. We've had turkey burgers, frozen pizza, mac n cheese all thanks to the gas grill and side burner attached. Nighttime is a little rough with the heat but luckily last night it got down to 60 and that helped keep the house a little cooler. We've been keeping busy during the day and staying out of the house as much as we can. We've been going to the gym everyday and letting Sean swim at the gym pool. Yesterday we went to the movies during the day, and of course he enjoyed that. Sean misses his morning cartoons but he loves using the flash light to walk around at night and he loves reading books by flashlight in bed each night. So, for now...we are doing ok for now though I have to say that being 9 months pregnant is not the best time to be "roughin" it with no A/C. Fingers crossed it will come on today!!

If you are wondering how I am updating, I am at our good friends house who has power and A/C. :o)
