Hello Father Winter....

Saturday night we were gifted 10 inches of snow, no power for several hours and a child with a fever of 103〫F.  It was an action packed night in the small town of Garnavillo. Andy and I headed out to go caroling and left behind a sick child with the Berns girls.  Even though Hayden was a bit crabby we went ahead with plans to go Christmas caroling around town.  Well, it turned out due to weather we ended up just going caroling at the local nursing home and then headed to the KG Bar.  The snow continued to fall after a few hours which made the festivities cut short due to a power outage throughout the whole town.  Even Grandma and Grandpa Reimer reported loss of power and had to fire up the generator.  So we headed home to find a house full of candles lit, a cozy Hayden with the Berns girls and no heat to speak of.  Luckily Andy found his headlamp and moved everything we needed for the night into the bedroom.  At about 11pm the power came back on and there was hope for better times.  Now if we can just get our little girl to be healthy.....again.
