Ice, Ice, Baby

Ice storm, Ice refreezing, Baby came.

Our friend had her son on Wednesday, by C. His name (the one they have not quibbled over) is Alexander. He was 9 pounds even, and 21 3/4 inches tall. For Teh Club, email me if you don't know which friend I speak of.

I am on borrowed time with computers. Our home has been without power since Monday at 6:00 pm. Be not expecting a post anytime soon. I don't know when we will have power again. I have hot water, but nothing else in the way of creature comforts.

Pray for me, that I don't kill the OG&E dudes who are "working" to get our power back. Pray that we don't run out the welcome at our gracious friends' house. Pray that I don't lose my mind in the suitcases.

Just pray. After all the car trouble, this is just one more test. I don't remember praying for patience....

I'm glad you have somewhere warm and safe to stay. I hope the power comes back on soon...I would be bummed about no Christmas lights and all the holiday decorations. Hang in there!!

Um... Nicki, did you ever live with Sandra? Then, yes. Hee hee. M and S (mostly M) decided on Saxon Alexander. Babe has a new girl cousin, too. J and his lovely wife A had Bronwen Psyche just two weeks before. I have not yet seen Bronwen. I was at the hospital when Alex was born. Email me (mychelf@hotmail.com) and I will be happy to tell you all the dish. :-)
