no power

safe and loved and secure w/no power

playing w/cars in the kitchen! what a treat!

Daddy played "Snuggle Puppy" & "We Are the Dinosaurs" and we all sang

Super Bowl Sunday we lost power.  We didn't care. We don't have TV service (we have a TV unit to watch recorded shows/videos) so we we didn't care so much about the game.  The boys' reaction was interesting, however.  They started talking about Uganda a lot for the rest of the evening.  Lighting candles and staying together in one room seemed really familiar to them.  They started saying "Momma Johnny has these ones. and Momma Benny has these ones (candles)" They hadn't mentioned Uganda or their old lives much in the weeks prior to losing power.  This was basically a daily occurrence over there.  Garak was really scared when we lost power which he always was in Uganda too.  Crying and clinging to me in fear which is something he does at no other time. (w/the exception of being near dogs).  It ended up being a special time w/the 4 of us just visiting together and we talked about having "no power" time on a regular basis just to enjoy each other's company.
