Christmas Day

What a wonderful, relaxing Christmas Day we had. We opened presents, played in the snow, and just enjoyed each other's company. Jack loved his presents from Santa and was even more excited about Santa and his reindeer eating the cookies, carrots, and milk we left out for him. I don't remember the last white Christmas we had, and I'll bet we won't have another like this for years.

Go Cardinals

Despite their horrible loss today against the Patriots, Rob remains hopeful in the Cardinals playoff success. Any time the Cardinals game is televised (once in a blue moon) we have a mini celebration.

Christmas Decorations

Decorating our brand new house for Christmas has definitely been one of the highlights of the season. Don't you just love the red door? It's one of my favorite things about the new house.

Jack and Rowdy

Grammy VanDiest brought Jack to build-a-bear yesterday, and he created Rowdy the Christmas Moose. Now him and Rowdy are inseparable. Half of the time he treats him like a best friend, and half the time he treats him like a baby and wraps him up and puts him down for naps. He's never taken so kindly to a stuffed animal before. Thanks Grammy!

First Post

For my first post, I thought I would be very unoriginal and explain what I'm doing right now...nothing obviously or I wouldn't be creating this blog. Jack-man and I are laying on the couch napping. Could it get any better on a Saturday afternoon in November? I don't think so.
