Can't wait to get to know you better, Juli! Juli, I’m so glad you have your power back on! What a nightmare it was for those families and friends of ours without!

Glad to have you stop by home-steeped hope!

We plowed our way home somehow and are excitedly planning all the snow play we can do with these mountains of white in the yard! We got a foot of snow, for sure...and it's been years since we've gotten that much! Of course the drifting makes it look like that much more...we had high winds so the wind chill made playing in it totally impossible yesterday! Mom! I knew we should have kept you cozily ensconced here with us through Christmas! Somebody might have to come dig you guys out on Tuesday! ;) Jessica…yes, we had another storm move in while we were at my sister-in-law’s celebrating Christmas…thank God for four wheel drive…the drifts were “rib” high on us people and to the truck beds and fencetops!

We can see drifts to the top of the asparagus bed and can't imagine what the lane will be like! It is good to be home but I'm missing the coziness of being with you folks.

In our town over 10,000 people were without power. Ours went out about mid-night on the 10th, and was restored on the morning of the 19th. My father drove 6 hours from his house and back, to bring us a generator. We were very thankful. I love the little house books, but after a few days of the cold, I was ready to have my heat again. We went down stairs, and the earth provided a good amount of warmth, but it was not ideal. I love your site. I home school too. I live in Kansas, and we were hit very hard too.

We really did enjoy our time together, and it sped by! They returned home today, with their electricity on and in good shape! Thankfully my sister's family also has theirs back on, though there are still plenty of families in our area waiting their turn! Thanks, Colleen!

It is nice, I have always wondered what it would be like to have "out of town" family come stay with us for the holidays, but with all local family, we've never had the opportunity! Lovin it! And the temps have been in the 40's this week, not bad, and melting all the snow and ice! Thanks Colleen!
