4 NEW posts! ...What else do you do when your AC goes out?...

So, apparently the heat got up to a "feels like" 107 degrees today and we felt every bit of that at the Poage household. What a splendid time to have the Air Conditioner go out, huh? ...thaaaaat's right... our AC went out.

We started noticing some funny-business last night when we had Collin's family over to hang out. The house just wasn't cooling off and the air coming out of the vents felt warmish. No good. If you went back to May of '06 on this blog, you'd read all about the AC going out a year ago and getting "fixed" so we've been down this road before. FORTUNATELY God is good and we were able to get the unit serviced today and the repair man, Daniel, (who I may seriously consider naming a son after someday as a debt of gratitude for what he did for us) was able to identify the problem, fix it and have us back to cool & comfy in no time! Hallelujah! :)

BUT, in the hot hours before Daniel brought us back to our climate-controlled way of life, Avery was ready for her nap and was miserably hot in her crib. I had her stripped to her diaper, but she was still really hot and fussy. So I got creative and tried AC the old school way and propped a package of frozen broccoli up in front of a fan that was aimed into her crib. Cool air was all it took for the crying to stop! She took a good nap and woke up to an air-conditioned house. What a life! :)

Anyway, the pictures were classic! (Broccoli by the crib?!) Poor sweet baby... SO glad it looks like the AC issues are behind us for now.
