LIGHTS OUT...

What happens when your power goes out for an extended period of time?  Two bored parents, one hot naked baby and lots of pictures!   

On Wednesday night we had the worst monsoon storm hit us since we moved to Tucson and power lines and trees fell in abundance.  Consequently, our power went out around 8pm and was out for the next 36 hours.  Apparently, there were about 25 poles that cracked or fell over and there was nearly a 5 mile square that was out of power for that period of time.  In any case, after one night in a hot, humid apartment, our friends let us stay at their house until our power came back on.  Thanks, Addie and Cameron.  You guys are life savers.  Seriously.  We would have melted!!  

The following are a result of us having a really cute baby and nothing better to do than to take lots of pictures of her.

This is a newer face Lois is making these days - a big smile!

Doesn't this just make you wanna squeeze her to death because she's so cute?  

This is her i'm-not-so-sure-about-this face.  Look at that double chin, baby!

This is Lois' CLASSIC face.  She's such a serious little wee.

Surprised look...

...and her looking-over-the-shoulder-angry face = mom and dad, this is NOT amusing anymore.



I mean really.  I love this girl.

Thanks for coming on this power outage amusement ride with us.

She is a model! Seriously reminds me of Zoolander. Can't wait to see her in person! We will definitely get together if you have time while you're here.

She is getting so animated! I think this is the best age. They love you unconditionally and all you have to do is feed them!! Love the faces Lois.

Yes. You do have quite a looker in your family. Love all her many faces. We got NOTHING of that storm by the way. Darn! Always left out.
I'm jealous that you have a new sister-in-law. My sister is 10.5 yrs younger than me. So, a new person in the family is way off, and it'll be a boy anyway. Not as much fun as a girl-in-law. Oh well.
Thanks for all the cuts pictures. Always so fun.
