Lemonade out of lemons

We had quite a crazy week last week.  Not only was Remi sick, but we lost power for about 48 hours.  Not having heat, running water, or electricity for a short time is inconvenient, but not having those things for that long with a 6-month old is impossible!  Lucky for us, we had family willing to take us in.  Michael, Remi, and I spent Tuesday night at David and Stephanie's and Remi enjoyed having Dalayna read stories to her.  They live very close so it was easy to get there and thankfully they had power most of the evening, and a generator when they didn't.  We were there most of Wednesday and then Remi and I decided to head to Manchester to hang out for a while and spend the night if we needed to.  We ended up staying at Eric and Ashley's house Wednesday and Thursday night while Michael decided to stay at Dave and Steph's to be closer to work.  Uncle Eric even taught Remi how to do a high five and she spent lots of time watching Isaac!  The power finally came on at 11:00 Thursday night and we were able to come back a warm house Friday afternoon.  We had no idea how long we would be without power, so it was complete craziness trying to pack everything Remi needed, plus what I also needed for who knew how long!  We made the best of a frustrating situation and had lots of fun at Remi's first sleepovers!
Here's Isaac showing Remi how easy it is to sit up all by yourself.  And even though it looks like it, I promise he's not naked. :)
