It's been a while.....

It has been a while since I last posted (almost a week) so here it is:
*Friday was quite a day. Winds were up to 70 mi. an hour and the power went out at the house at 8AM. That in and of itself was not too bad but it seemed like everything we have used electricity. It began to get very cold in here and I called Susan to see if she wanted me to have Matthew's other Grandma come and get him. She had no electricity either. By 1:15, the power was still out and Susan came and got us and took us to her house. It was warm, the power was on so Matty and I could even watch the big screen TV if we wanted to! Our power was on by the time Wm. got home.

*Betsy and Kenny came down for Carol's (Betsy's sister) birthday and we had dinner at Tassone's. Betsy found me a used crib in excellent condition and Susan got a new mattress for it so now Matthew has a regular crib in his room at Gramma's house.

*Stephanie has asked me to watch Anthony for her 3 days a week as her sister in law fell and broke her leg and now has a plate w/9 screws in it. I will try it when I get back from NC. Not sure if 2 small boys is too much for an old fat grandmother or not. On the plus side, only one is walking....on the other side, one 6 mo. old and one 13 mo. old may be too much.....we shall see.

*Friday, 2/24, we leave Rochester for Raleigh. Morrigan's birthday is Sunday. They are planning the party at a ranch with horseback riding, pot bellied pigs, chickens, and other farm animals. The kids can ride horses and interact with the animals. What a shame Lael and Alyssa can't go!

I agree with Jackie on the challenge you are facing. Good luck with the little ones. :)
That birthday party sounds like a lot of fun - wish I was having a party like that. :)
