December 19th we were hit with a huge ice storm. It started during the night and covered the area with over a 1/4 inch of ice. School was canceled so Lauryn did not have her holiday party. Matt had to venture off to work by 7 am...driving was not fun. My office lost power about 9 am on that Friday and as of right now (Tuesday at 3:15) still no power. My sister's family made it here from AR on Saturday late afternoon. My friend Stacey (see photo) lost power at her house so she was our house guest for the weekend...she now has power at home.

Lauryn traveled up North with my sister's family to visit Grandma & Grandpa Korstange. She is having a great time with her cousins and playing in the snow.
