Tonight was your first experience of a strong Midwest thunderstorm. About 8:30 pm, the lights flashed out then back on at home as Mom and Dad were moving boxes and Holly, who also babysat you last night, was holding you. A strong storm blew in very soon thereafter and made Mom nervous enough that we all went to hang out in the basement (which is now almost completely packed, by the way). We hung out there until about 10 when the severe weather warning expired and you were done with your bottle. Now back upstairs where Mom is very behind on sleep.

Note to self: strong storms are one of the few surefire ways to get Dad to turn off his computers.
