No power for a week!

It's been a week now and we stil have no power. If you didn't know, it's because of the massive ice storm that hit NH last Thursday night. The power company said 95% of our town should have it back by tonight. I'm skeptical. We've been living with Dan's parents for a week, which we're very grateful to have. All our neighbors are still bunkered down in their semi-cold houses using generators but they still don't have any water. I've been able to keep working from their house, so thats good. Sebastien's daycare got power back on Tuesday so he's been going there during the day. Right now our house is at 35 degrees inside so we're starting to worry about pipes freezing. Dan said he's going to buy a propane heater to see if he can get the house temperature up. I actually haven't minded being at Dan's parents for a week....there's always so much activity between them and Becca and Phil (and Dan's aunt who was staying with them too for a while), but the person who loves it the most is Gwynnie. She's been in heaven with so many people around. I bet she wishes we could live with them all the time. I'll have to post some pictures later since the cords I need to do so are at our house.
