8:47 p.m. - 6:07 a.m.

This is the time frame that we endured a power outage last night.  Baby "K" had just fallen asleep, and was snug in bed.  I was in the shower, and had plans for some sleep before the next feeding.  The power went out, and I finished my shower with a flashlight.

The wind was whipping around, and rain was falling, so we determined this was the cause.  A quick peek outside, and we discovered that the neighbor's yard light and house were also dark.  So, the area was all without power.  At 9:10 p.m. we headed to bed.

At 11:33 p.m. I awoke - very hot - and Mr. Fixit decided that perhaps he should call the outage in. I decided that it was time to break out some candles.  Thankfully, there were several boxes on hand (wedding decorations re-purposed)!  Power outage called in, and Baby "K" was still peacefully sleeping.  So, back to sleep.

Baby "K" awoke to eat at 1:41 a.m., and we were still without power.  *Sigh*  Mr. Fixit and I both slept fitfully the rest of the night.  We got up at 5:30 a.m. and gathered some refrigerator and freezer items in a cooler.  Mr. Fixit would haul them to some freezers at work.  Then, suddenly, the lights came back on at 6:07 a.m.  Bliss!  The photo is a picture of what our living room looked like last night.  Hopefully, tonight will feature calmer weather -- and a good sleeping baby too!
