Hello.

 

Thank you for all the Facebook and email love.

We are good.  

Our house is fine.  

And, despite skipping trick-or-treating for the time being, we all had a good night.  

Hanging out in our Halloween socks.

At a hotel, because we have not had power since sometime Monday afternoon.  

It has been a fun night actually.  

The hotel only had a suite left, so we have lots of room, two tv's, and a nice gym right below us.

Score:).  

If you have emailed me in the last three days-- well, really since Sunday-- I will respond aSaP!  This is the first time I have connected my laptop to the internet in the last few days and have a bunch of messages to read through still.  Thank you for understanding!!

We were fortunate.  

Our area was not hit that hard.  I think the eye of the storm pretty much went over us...or fairly close.  However, the Jersey shore, north Jersey, and NYC-- parts of those areas are just destroyed.  It breaks my heart to look at the photos and listen to the stories on the radio.  Our favorite beach was literally underwater yesterday.  Having no power kinda sucks.  And walking around in puddles in the basement, that sucks too.  But those little things pale in comparison to the devastation on the news.  

I am thankful to be in matchy socks tonight with my babies and boy. 

I am reminded that we are small people; and God is so big and powerful.

And I am in awe that the One who calms the winds and waves with a simple word 

loves me.  

Good night, friends!

Gonna make good use of this suite while we got it;).
