Last week's ice and snow storm left around 200,000 Louisvillians without electricity. Among them were families from our church, including our friends the Melton's. So, as of Thursday night, we had two teenage daughters, Katie (19) and Emily (15). Fortunately for them, they received power today, after almost a full week of being without it. But, fortunately for us, we got to have some great guests. They asked if I needed help with dinner and with dishes, picked up their air mattress bed everyday, and helped with laundry. While Katie was off volunteering and working, Emily also helped me bake and make sweet potatoes with carrots for Phoebe. And, of course, they volunteered to help watch Phoebe pretty much the whole time. Katie is becoming more and more fluent in sign language, and would sign the songs we sang to Phoebe at bedtime, and Emily helped Phoebe perfect her "bouncy bouncy" skills. Thank you for being such great guests, ladies! We love you!
