WE HAVE POWER! and other updates

Yesterday while we were at the mall, our house got power again. It was glorious. We're still celebrating each time we flip a light switch. Finding a store that was powered and carrying milk, eggs, and meat was pretty hard, but we're once again stocked and SO happy. It'll be a long while before we take electricity for granted again.
Church today was combined with other congregations in the area, as not all the buildings have power yet. The AC was broken, and the room was very full, so it got a bit uncomfortable. Apparently, about half of my congregation is STILL without power (going on day 9 now). So we're feeling very blessed.
Kenny doesn't start school back up til Wednesday, so he's had a nice little break. He's had lots of time to play with the baby (and I think he gets more smiles out of him than I do these days):

I've definitely enjoyed all the time with him home.
Daniel learned a new trick this week: sitting up on his own!
From Sept 08

Well, kinda. Still working on the posture thing:):

Oh, and the drool on his chest? That's a constant thing. He is a drooly drooly boy. I keep thinking he's teething, but so far no sign of new teeth.
Work is going well- I've been working on a huge new project in my new role (did I mention I changed jobs within my company?) and it's gone well enough, other than I went a week with no internet (thank you thank you thank you Kevin for letting me camp out at your place) and my work lappy keeps giving me the purple screen of death (you know you have problems when the Blue Screen of Death is too good for you).
Things are good, life is returning to normal, and we just feel so lucky!

I have that same set of onesies (daddy's little hero?? right?) for our little guy! I can't believe how big Daniel is getting. Glad to hear you guys are back in business with power too!!

Welcome back to the land of the civilized. I'm sure you appreciate it more now.

Sounds like a new laptop might be on its way to you. Nice move with the BSOD... :-)
