Holy Power Outage!!!


A big ice and Thunder Snow hit us on Saturday and over 100,000 homes in the QC area were without power by the end of the storm. We just happened to be one of the lucky 100,000 homes. We have been without power now since 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. It is now Tuesday, 72 hours later and we are patiently still living out of bags at Mike's mom and dads house. Thank the Lord that Mike's family has been so nice to take us in (like they had a choice or something). We are so blessed for the warm house and home cooked MOM meals!! Mike's dad and Uncle's have had 2 generators over at our house hooked up to our furnaces to keep our pipes from freezing. I went home the other day to get clothes and the thermostat was at 40 degrees. BRRRR!!!! Here are some pics of Collin and Mike during the few hours we tried to tough it out at first.
It looks light in the house but it was actually very dark. I have a great flash! Here is Collin with Dad's Ipod watching Arthur. Thank Goodness for new age devices. I never realized how much we watched TV!!!
