The Perfect Tree!

By
We had our annual Christmas tree outing last weekend; we go to a nearby Christmas tree farm where you can cut down your own tree.  Wyatt fell asleep in the car, so Grandma R. stayed with him while we set off to find the perfect tree with Leah.  Leah was very determined to find the right tree, and every five seconds she was shouting, "GUYS!  Follow me - I FOUND IT!  I found the perfect tree!"  If you have a minute to watch the video, you can see some of her perfect trees - hah!  We played some hide and seek in the trees and just walked around for a while.  Though it would've been nice if there had been some snow, the warmer weather let us enjoy being outside a bit.  Wyatt and Grandma joined us for the last of our search, and then we got hot chocolate.  All in all, a very successful trip!

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
