Our power went out this morning. We wouldn't have known if Amanda hadn't woken up at 5:00 AM crying (we don't know why she woke up early). In fact, I likely would have slept right through my 5:30 wake-up time, since the alarm was without power. Good job, Amanda!
Our whole block was without power (the electric company said 36 residences were affected), but the houses across the street were fine. Power was restored at about 6:00 AM, after what we estimated was a 3-4 hour outage.
Elena really liked the candles that we had lit all over the house (she woke up at 5:45 AM). She continued to point at the candles (long since extinguished) throughout breakfast.
