Fast-forward: We went up to MIL's house in the mountains for the SuperBowl weekend. Initially we'd planned to return home on Monday, but the weather forecast was indicating more icy conditions heading towards the mountains and south along our route home. Overnight, we had two brief power outages (MIL is equipped with a generator which is hooked up to her gas lines, thus prepared for any extended outages), and Monday morning, we decided it would be safer if we stayed an extra day. It ended up being a relaxing, easy-going day. Allison delighted in extra play time with Mom-mom, and at one point the two of them were playing with Bitty Baby and Bear in the office where Allison sleeps. Allison started getting non-functioning phones, blankets and flashlights and hauling them into the room. Then she turned off the lights, and proceeded to play "Power Outage" with Mom-mom. They comforted Bear and Bitty Baby who were worried about the storm. Allison "called" the power company to report the outage, and in the end they all "moved" into a hotel for the duration!

No Mom is an island . . . but sometimes she needs one!

Mom-mom enjoyed playing with her. I miss things like that with my Danny!
