Madison lost her 1st tooth

Madison finally lost her first tooth. I think she was the very last of her friends here in Arkansas and in SC to loose her first tooth. She has been asking me on a weekly basis for months now when she would loose her tooth. Two days ago she lost it and got her first visit from the tooth fairy. She was so excited.

The Ice Storm

This is the lake that is accross the street from our house. Just a sheet of ice.

We survived the ice storm last week and only lost power for one night. It was soooo cold that night. Our gas stove just doesn't cut it when it is 15 degrees. I used to think that if I was going to be without power, I would rather be in the cold than in the heat, but after being in Houston without power after hurricane Rita and now going thru and ice storm without power, I can offically say they both suck!! There are still so many places around here that don't have power so I am thankful we do. Our church, which is Jacks preschool is running on generators. Madison's school got power back on over the weekend so she was able to go back after being off all last week. It is so sad to see all the trees that snapped under the weight of the ice and are going to have to be cut down and cut back.
