Interesting week

We started the week hoping to get a lot accomplished, but things don't always go as planned.

We are having a family reunion of sorts. My brother Jim and my sister Jeannie are coming up from Colorado. Their children are coming too, so all together it's going to be about 47 people. June, April, and my mom are already living in Kalispell.
So we have to finish lots of cleaning projects and yard work before everyone gets here.
Now the last few weeks have been very hot here. It is not normal for Montana to be this hot for more then a week. So the heat can slow us down anyways.
Monday ended up full of errands, Tuesday a sweet little baby girl was born. They called me at 8 am and delivered by 11:15, of course they don't go home till 6 or 7 pm though.
Then Wednesday we had childbirth classes at the birth center planned. We had quite a crowd. It's really nice because a lot of our moms like to come back and join us for our special classes. so it's quite a time of visiting and weighing babies too. We also had 4-5 prenatals to squeeze in during the busy day. It was fun but very busy.
I got home about 6 or 7, we had dinner and just as I was about to take a shower (which I never got), Maria called and said " do you know their is a tornado warning" "the tornado is heading towards Libby!" Well we have had some pretty good storms here, but never a tornado because the mountains keep them from going very far. Well with in a few minutes the sky got dark, and the wind was blowing pretty good. It wasn't very bad, lots of thunder, lightning and wonderful rain. Our cherry tree stayed in a permanent wind blown position. We had a couple of trees come down. And...... this is the big AND.... we lost electricity. This was Wednesday night. we have been told that we might not have electricity again till Saturday! When we loose electricity we loose water too. plus we have the fridge and freezers to think about.
So today was wasted in town as we didn't want to stay home, Friday I have the postpartum visit in the West Kootenai (70 miles from home), I thought I would bring the children and go swimming on the way home and there goes my week.
Well this is our life, it's always something it seems, but it's ussally exciting!
