A Cold Couple of Days

The last couple of days have been a cold time in our house. Tuesday Sarah called me at school and said our furnace was not running and it was 63 degrees in the house. I ran home and had a look, not that it was going to do any good, and started to call around to get someone out to have a look. By 5:00 we had a verdict; fix it or get a new one. There are two choice that neither Sarah and I wanted to make but we had no choice. We bit the bullet and went with a brand new furnace. It couldn't get installed until the next day. So our family of 5 and 1 dog made the trek over to the neighbors, The Welters, to spend the night. I think that Mark and Gayle were not sure what they got into when they asked, no told us, to come spend the night. It was a good call because Wednesday morning the house was 44 degrees! We had a wonderful time at the Welters for a couple of day. Good food, a warm house, and great company. My Wednesday afternoon the furnace was in and warming up the house. We are so blessed for wonderful neighbors. Our girls think of them as an extra set of grandparents and I have heard more then once the girls call Mark and Gayle grandma and grandpa.
Hopefully this will be a expense we don't have to worry about for awhile. If we do we know we have a place to stay at least.
Here is a picture of the new addition to the family. For the cost I thought I better take a picture.
