Grammy Visits!

Last Thursday Grammy came to visit! We all had such a great time, and Ben learned some new things - he can now clap, take steps (with support of course), and drink from a straw! What a week!

We spent Sunday and Monday morning preparing for the storm, and hoping our power wouldn't go out! We watched the Weather Channel, and Ben was very worried about all of our friends and family who live in the area, hoping they weren't hit too hard by the storm.

We were lucky and didn't lose power at all. It was really windy, trees fell, and the power flickered, but we made it through without a scratch! A huge amount of people weren't as lucky - this storm was crazy. The aftermath is affecting White Plains now too, though. Gas is sold out at a bunch of stations, so we're also lucky that we live right across the street from a grocery store! Matt was off work for most of the week, but if he's back on Monday hopefully the gas stations get more gas!

It was strange being so unaffected by the storm when so many people were hit hard.

Grammy brought Ben a pumpkin with his name on it! It lights up, and he thought it was very cool. On Wednesday we got two pumpkins to carve for our pumpkin contest!

Grammy got home safely, and we got to see her for a few extra days!! We're so grateful for the time we had!
