I was just headed to the shower, when the creepy thunder outside steered me towards the computer. Each clap and bang reminds me that I might not be running errands today. Dreary rainstorms and infants don't mix well. Well, we celebrated our first Christmas with Lucas. He surprised us by showing interest in his gifts as we unwrapped them for him. A special thanks to Grandma, Mimi and Poppey, Uncle Andy, Aunt Melanie and Uncle Walker, and Uncle Brock and Aunt Amy for all of the wonderful gifts, including a RadioFlyer wagon, Johnny Jump Up, LeapPad, clothes and more! We spent Monday recooperating from the busy schedule we've been maintaining during the month. Christmas parties, Christmas shopping, Christmas traveling and a runny nose, all culminate in one tired mommy. Lucas was his cheerful, laughing self through it all, even when we dressed him in a Santa hat and took pictures, lots of pictures.
Oh yea, and we survived Ice Storm 2005! Those of you who did not have to endure the days without power and tree limbs covering your yard are probably questioning of it really and truly was that bad. Well, it was. And I have the pictures to prove it! We spent the first night in a motel room with friends, a rather unique but special experience (try to imagine 4 adults, two pack and plays, and two babies) that turned out to be the highlight of the weekend. Our power was restored two days after it went out. The broken fence in the back yard will have to wait repair, as "ice storm damage" was not a part of our budget.
Matt and I took our little one Greenville yesterday for some after Christmas shopping. I found a great coat at NY and Co for half price! I'm chomping at the bit to use my gift cards for Old Navy and Target!
We introduced Lucas to rice cereal yesterday. He threw up. But today proved more successful. I'm sure at least 3 or 4 spoonfuls were swallowed.
