Happy New Year!!

Hello!!
I have been gone - I meant to post on Monday but life got in the way!! My kids made it back to Colorado - in spite of Indiana crazy weather! I'm sure everybody has heard about the weather woes for this side of the US. This is a picture post - ready....

my people

The washer pipes froze right up. We had to tear that wall down as well. Got them working and now we unhook it at night and let them drip too. What a pain in the arse!! The bathroom thawed itself without breaking thank goodness - we can not figure out where it is frozen - finished basement and all. We lost power for a few hours on Monday - got down to 52 in the house but we had a fire going. I got the house cleaned (and unChristmased) and all the laundry done. Holy cow my house was filthy! It was nice to have the kids here. We had a good time.
Hope you are all staying warm!! Thanks for stopping by!!
