It's COLD ... part two, the expensive edition.

Well, we are in the process of getting a new heater (or furnace as those of you up north call it!) It's all fun and games until you have to replace a major system in your house (make that two if you count the hot water heater a mere 10 weeks ago). We were able to stay at Andrew and Berkeley's last night so we could keep warm. It was 59 degrees in the house today, but we built a fire and figured it out. Hoping to have heat by sundown.

And, the Archbold grandparents were three hours late getting in, stuck in Atlanta AND, my dad ended up in the emergency clinic today because of his foot. It's been an interesting 48 hours to say the least. But they are enjoying Maddy, and she's been oblivious to the chaos and confusion, happily playing with her grandparents and uncle and cooing like it's 70 and balmy. At least the weather is better today!

What an adventure (probably not the word Jim would use!!).

Here's a picture of grandma Nancy bundled up and holding Miss Madelyn .... more to come tomorrow when we go to the arboretum (barring any other unplanned visits or major appliance replacements!).
