Luckily, our landscaping didn't suffer much damage from the ice.
Two huge bradford pears planted by Don at our old house 15 years ago were not so lucky!
We wanted to share a few pics and experiences over the last 2 weeks as we weathered the ice storm. We were without power for 6 days but thankfully had wonderful family to take us into their homes. We spent one night at home without heat. We were able to use a propane camping stove to cook some things, but we decided it was just too cold for Adelyn. We stayed with Dennis and Michelle for the next 3 nights, then stayed with Doug and Debbie for the remaining 2 nights. We are so thankful to them for sharing their homes to make us comfortable!

Adelyn thought we were on vacation during the whole ordeal.
One night during our stay with Uncle Doug and "Uncle Ebbie" (Aunt Debbie), Adelyn wanted a snack. Aunt Debbie gave her 5 mini oreos. Adelyn didn't eat them right away. She shared 3 of them with us before eating the remaining 2. She is a very generous child. We hope she continues to learn the meaning of sharing and generosity.
After we returned home, my sister, Gracie and her family came over during the next couple of afternoons to warm up. She and her husband Paul have 5 children and still do not have electricity. It has been 10 days since the storm. They have proven to be one resilient family to pull through so many days without power. We are praying that they have heat soon!
