catching up

work has been great this week. busy, but i love my job, so that's ok. bill and linda have been in town this week (they narrowly made it in tuesday night with all the snow), which has been a great help. i've been able to get a few things done around the house, bryan's been able to run some errands, and we've both been able to get some sleep.

i promised some pictures, so here we go.

bryan and oliver checking out christmas trees last sunday:


oliver wasn't too impressed, but he was pretty cute:


turns out the tree we got was huge:


but that didn't bother ollie any:


tuesday we got some monster snow. the snow was so wet the flakes all clumped together and came down in chunks as big as oliver's fist:



bill and linda's flight was rather delayed because of the snow, but they made it in safe and sound.

mom and dad came over wednesday, and we had a lovely dinner to celebrate my birthday:


then we decorated the tree!



the tree may be huge, but it is beautiful!

today is shannon's bday. happy birthday shannon! i can't believe she is 20 already. pavan, you still can't date her though.

it's seriously freezing here today. 10° this morning when i left the house and with the wind a bit colder. weather.com says 15°, feels like 3°. that's not joking around. all that wet snow has frozen solid. i haven't been in weather this cold in years. last year we didn't come for christmas; we drove up here for thanksgiving and it was unseasonably warm. the year before that, we flew the girls down to atlanta for christmas. so it's been 3 years since i was here in cold weather. it's quite a shock. and the seriously cold weather is yet to come!

no big weekend plans. bill and linda fly out tomorrow, and i'm sure we'll see mom and dad at some point.

oliver is getting pretty close to sleeping through the night (knock on wood). he's been falling asleep around 8 and waking up around 1, then maybe 2 more feedings. if we can just get him to fall asleep closer to 11, then sleep for 4 - 5 hours... that will just about be it! we've read about a few ways to get your baby on a schedule, so we're going to start working on that.


what can i say, he's the cutest baby ever!
