Cold start to 2013

Our hot water heater stopped working this January on a Friday evening. What a way to start the year! Apparently, the unit was so full of rust that it caused the pilot to constantly burn out due to lack of oxygen. The internal tank was on the verge of leaking.
 
But it was all fixed thanks to Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, who did a phenomenal job! Through our home warranty company (which is not always reliable), we were able to get the entire unit covered with no fees, etc. Thank God for his goodness!!
 
The boys had a good month with no major illnesses and Aiden is doing very well. We are praying he gets through Winter with no illness. Below are some highlights from the month.
