Weathering the Storms

We seem to be getting better and better at weathering storms here at the tot 2 teens household. Claire has made it through this last storm like a hero. She constantly reassures us that she is o.k. by just being so full of life. She is jabbering away in that baby lingo that requires some kind of interpreter.She is constantly smiling & laughing, just happy,happy all the time. She is also getting used to her seizure medication.It does seem to make her a little extra sleepy some days,but other days it seems to get her wired.But all in all she is great.So, we are settling in to a new kind of normal once again.Thank you God!

The next storm actual involved the weather.The remnants of hurricane Ike came through the Ohio Valley on Sunday. We are not used to tropical force winds in this area,so we were in awe. There were trees down every where & it was biggest power outage in the history of Ohio,according to Duke Power Co. & half my family is still with out power today.Much to the excitement of my children,school was also cancelled!You gotta love a "snow day" with out the snow!My husband has also been excited about the latest storm too,because there is now an unlimited amount of wood to be cut.The wood pile is going to be a big one this year. We will be warm for the winter,yippee!

Will we be ready for the next storm,what ever shape or form it comes in? We have survived so far,so I am counting on continuing this ride of a life time for a life time & with God leading our way,I know we will be safe! He will get us through any storm that comes our way.
