Ice storms, Florida, V-day

Ok, so I know it has been far too long since I have posted. So many of you probably heard about the ice storms in Arkansas, and yes we were in it. It was crazy. Like nothing I had ever seen before. We lost power sometime Monday night and woke up to layers of ice everywhere. At about 10am we hear this huge crashing sound and it was a tree branch falling on our house. We had many fall on our house but were lucky to only have damage to our satellite dish. It was so eery sounding whenever the branches fell.




Luckiy, we had a trip planned to Florida and we were to leave Wednesday(this really worked out because our power didn't come back on until Friday). This however, required us to drive in the ice because we were flying out of Tulsa which is normally about an hour and a half away, but this time it took about 3 hours. Luckily Caleb slept almost the entire time. I have really never been so scared in my life. We are driving next to semi's and sliding a little. I felt like I was on a video game where they always have some kind of level with ice. Ya it was crazy. Luckily we made it there safely. Caleb did great on the airplane and the pressure didn't seem to bother him at all. It was so nice to go from 17 degree weather to about 75 degree weather! It was much appreciated Mom and Dad! We had fun! We took Caleb to the beach for the 1st time, just walking around. It was a little windy so he didn't enjoy it too much! For the most part we just relaxed and hung out. Caleb got to meet his cousins Juliana and Ashley and Uncle Matthew and Aunt Erica. We really didn't want to leave, but had to come back to real life again. At least our electricity was on!!!





Valentines Day was different this year. It's not the same when you have a kid, but Ben made sure it was special! I kept teasing him that I wanted my bed to look like Meredith's bed that was on Grey's when Derek was going to propose. So to my suprise, he cooked dinner and I cleaned up and while I was cleaning up he decorated the bed with chocolates and had a bath running with rose petals in it. It was so sweet and romantic!


Well that is all for now and I promise to keep up with it. Here are some random pics of Caleb!
