Here in NH we are part of one of the worst ice storms in NH history! It’s day 7 of no power. We’re lucky to have a big wood stove for cooking and heat. Wow is it humbling to think of those who never had the comfort of electricity and still carry on with their days tasks! We’re doing well and managed to salvage food. If you have time please check out our article about food in a power outage. Search for it using our search bar. We’typing this from an iPhone so it’s difficult to get the link for you now!
We hope to get a generator today for hot showers and the freezer. We won’t be able to do site work for awhile. We apologize to all of you who have shared your precious little ones via our gallery. We miss being able to read all about them and add them to our gallery! Unfortunately we are all without power and prefer to not outsource our updates to others!
Happy holidays. We hope your little ones enjoy the magic and warmth of the season. Especially all the gummy foods!
With luck, we will have power for Christmas day.
