A day with the kids!

Well Jesse left at 6 this morning and headed out to Corydon, IN with four other Martinsville Duke employees. When I talked to him this morning he said they were only able to go 35 mph so it took them awhile to get there. Tonight I talked to him, and he said they were having to drive to French Lick to stay in a hotel cause there were no rooms near Corydon. That was an hour drive, but going 35 who knows how long it will take them. The kids and I watched a movie tonight, and Austin was bummed cause he said it just isn't the same watching a movie without Jesse. We all miss him lots already, but we are so proud of him that he gets to go out and help restore others power. We are also very thankful that we have power!
Today I took the kids out to play in all this snow. There is so much of it. We started out shoveling our driveway and well we didn't get very far. Let me tell you I am not a fan of shoveling my driveway and I am so glad that Jesse usually does it. Thankfully one of our neighbors on the end of our subdivison has a tractor with a scrapper thingy. He drove by and must of felt sorry for us and asked if we wanted help. It took him like 5 minutes, and well we would of probably been there all day. The kids had fun playing and then enjoying hot chocolate when they finally came in. Here are a few pictures of the fun.
The neighbor boys came down and had a snowball fight with Austin. Austin is getting ready to throw a snow ball!
Hailee enjoyed the snow lots and just couldn't get over how much snow there was.


Here Hailee is trying to walk in the snow. It was hard for her to walk in it cause it was so deep! She didn't care though she was determined to get out there with her bubby!

Jesse's cousin ~ Mandy (Cornelius) Britton had her baby this evening. She had a little girl and named her Madelynn Sue. Congrats Britton family on your newest addition.
