Merry Christmas, Happy New Years!

Ok so I'm a little late on the Merry Christmas part! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! We did. E got very very spoiled! I don't know where we are going to put everything! I'm very glad that D and I didn't go overboard on buying gifts we left that to our families!

I got sick on Christmas so that wasn't fun. I woke up Christmas morning feeling gross and had to cook dinner for 15 people!! Not fun I say. I stayed sick for the next 2 days after that also. I'm glad D was home to help out because I really wasn't feeling up to moving or anything but I'm all better now!

Tonight is New Years Eve! Happy New Years! We are staying in and relaxing. I wasn't very smart because I booked E's 6 month shots today. Yes, yes I know. I wasn't thinking when they told me the date. Not like we are going anywhere tonight anways. We'll sit at home and watch some movies and that is about it. Maybe order in Chinese food, we'll see what we feel like when D gets home from work.

I hope you all have a safe but fun New Years Eve!! Talk to you next year!

Winters here .....

and boy did it remind us how much we don't like snow and cold!!

Man did we get quite the storm yesterday, definatly the first major snowfall of the year and dang it is cold out!

Watching the news last night sure made me thankful for being on maternity leave right now. The average commute home last night was 2 hours due to gridlocked traffic all over the city. Some people waited for busses downtown for 2 hours that never came, sat in traffic for 3 hours on what is normally a 25 minute drive home! Thankfully I had no where to go so I sat in the house and watched it blow in. D was lucky, the one day he was thankful for extra work on a Friday so he put in some nice OT at work and by the time he left at 7:30 it was smooth sailing out of the city to home!

What does D come home to... lots of shovelling! He had to shovel the sidewalk, the back parking pad so he could get on it, the front road because his truck got stuck so by the time all was said and done, he came in the house to relax at 9:15!! But he was glad to do it last night and not have to shovel this morning in the -23 weather out there!!

This weekend I don't think we'll be leaving the safety, warmth and comfort of our house!!

Stay warm out there!

Feeding time!?

So we decided to start E on rice cereal yesterday. That was interesting. She did pretty well I think. She ate most of it so I decided to try again this morning. She actually opened her mouth wide a couple time the spoon came to her mouth and laughed lots. But I do have to say, wow it's a lot of work! Bottle feeding is sooo much easier and quicker! Its funny it's exciting to start this new phase with her yet I know it's going to make things a little bit more difficult because I'll have to start taking food with me when I go out rather then just bottles.

My little girl is growing up so fast!!
