Still Iced In! Still Powerless!

We are 1 of the millions still without power. We have been without power since Tuesday afternoon! We stayed at home on Tuesday night, but yesterday it was just too cold and we decided to stay with friends last night. There are currently 3 huge pine trees in our back yard, and we can't see our fence, so we don't know if our fence is still standing or not. The electric company has said it won't be until Saturday night that we get our power back, but we are hoping it happens sometime today.

When we get our camera up and running we will upload some pics of the damage.

Ice Storm

Well, we are experiencing our first real ice storm! My over-achiever, I mean, very committed husband, braved the 2" thick ice on the roads and went in to work this morning, hope he makes it home! (I really hope he makes it to the store first too to buy a few flashlights). We are hoping not to lose power, but some parts of the area already have. Grace and I went outside to take a few pictures. This has all happened in less than 24 hrs. and the freezing rain is still coming down. I have to say, it sure is beautiful compared to a Southwest dust storm!

The boy loves to dance!

Man I Miss My Crew Today!

This picture pretty much sums it up. This is a busy time of year at work, which means I'm at work early and leave late. When I do get home the kids are ready for bed and could careless about seeing daddy. WORK, who invented it, and when did it become such a significant part of our lives? Don't get me wrong, I'm blessed to have a job and I really like what I do. I just miss my family, and lets face it, life is short. No point in not enjoying the journey! I need to remember this feeling when I'm impatient with my wonderful children at home. Anyways, enough of me venting, back to life.

Our Christmas Gift.

Santa didn't make it to our house this year, instead, the Stork did! Our family is growing! We will be welcoming our 3rd baby in July. We've never been more blind-sided, surprised, caught off guard, panicked...(you get the idea), but after experiencing those emotions, we are THRILLED about our new addition and this special, special blessing we've been given. We'll be sure to keep you posted.

All our love, the Robbins' family.
