Fire

As most of you know we had a kitchen fire in June. I had taken Aiden to his 2 month appointment and left bottles boiling on the stove. I came home to a house filled with smoke and alarms blaring. If it weren't for the Lord's blessing, things could have been a lot worse. I shutter to think about that!

Once the fire was out and smoke cleared, we grabbed a few essentials and headed to Ninny & Pa's. Since Dana and Michael were already there we figured we'd stay there a few nights. After all... what was 2 more adults, a newborn and a nutso dog? We had a very own "spend the night party" that was actually fun. After everything that had happened it was nice to have so much support!

Once we found out we'd have to be out of the house for a few weeks, we "moved" to a 2 bedroom hotel in Brandon. (Ninny & Pa did offer for us to stay with them the entire time but insurance was paying for the hotel!)  

 We were able to move back in four long weeks later! I walked in and saw this...

Being that we had so much to do and an infant in tow, Forrest took 3 days off to help me get everything unpacked, cleaned and organized! What a blessing he was! It would have taken me a month by myself.   

Not the most glamorous picture but this is real life! Feeding the baby in my pajamas (because Aiden had a blowout diaper ON me and all my other clothes were packed away) while hosing off the frig shelves.
