No Water For 42 Hours!

Wednesday (November 12th) at about 5:00 I went to turn on our kitchen faucet to wash dishes and the water wouldn't come on. Then, I noticed that the washing machine had stopped rinsing the clothes that were in the washer. Then I made the realization that WE HAD NO WATER! Something had happend to our well. So, Darin crawled down into the well, which is bug and spider infested (talk about fear factor), and tried to figure out what happened with no success. Thursday, Darin had the day off work and he spent almost the entire day taking different parts of the well pump in to be tested by the pump store. Of course, the pump store said that they needed to come onsite to fix the problem, so they scheduled an appointment for 9:00 a.m. on Friday. To make a long story short we finally had water by 11:00 a.m on Friday. I am not looking forward to seeing the bill on this one! You never really realize how much you use something until you can't use it. We had to be quite creative when it came to showers, toilet use, washing hands, washing dishes, making baby bottles, etc. I am so glad that I live in the 21st century. Hooray for indoor plumbing!

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
