Ordinary Moments

Last night there was a severe thunderstorm in our area.  The lightning was pretty bad, and it managed to zap our modems and router, so we were left without internet for most of today, and are still without a phone.  The lightning also struck our house.  Jonny and I were both sitting on the couch, around midnight when a bolt of lightning hit (not sure where, we think our chimney and the power line attached at the roof.) There was a gigantic BOOM and a flash of light and electricity shot out of our electric panel (it is on a wall of our living room covered by an antique green door) and Jonny, whose feet were touching the floor, even felt the jolt in his feet.  It was seriously scary and sent us both running upstairs to make sure our babies were okay (they were, just a few tears.)  We don’t think there was any damage done;  I am grateful that everything seems to be working all right. 

Anyway, rather than my typical Friday post of late, I am instead going to share a bit more:  not my best photos, just some ordinary moments from the week that I captured.
