Hanging in there

It's been a rough week here for the Yodelings as one by one we've all gotten sick with a nasty stomach bug. This includes Becky's mom, Gloria who's been visiting from Pennsylvania. We're mostly on the mend but August is still struggling to recover and has been pretty unhappy. Last night just as we were getting the kids to bed a transformer exploded a few block away and our power went out. With one sick baby, the temperatures dropping (we have electric heat) and no sign of utility trucks we decided at 10:30pm camp out in a friend's living room for the night. The power came back on at 2am, but we were happy to be toasty warm and asleep somewhere else then. Thanks to our friend Anna for coming to the rescue! Stuck in the house all week, Rose and August had grown bored with their toys and got interested in Grandma Gloria's curlers. They soon got the idea that the curlers were supposed to go in their hair and Grandma helped them get the look down.
Maybe it's the testosterone at work, but Augie had a harder time with this concept than his sister. He thought the curlers were better for chewing.
