Wow! Christmas is on the way...

Well, I can't believe it's December and I haven't posted - well, yes I can. It's been a busy month. ;) All three of us flew to Pennsylvania to share in Thanksgiving and an early Christmas with the family. It was a wonderful time (after arrival) and M created many a memory. If not for himself, for me. The falls, the giving, the lights on the tree, and so much more. We are so blessed to have had an opportunity to share with everyone good times. The month ahead is looking crazy as well, so I hope to get some pictures up - but I can't promise.
Rob begins a new schedule tomorrow with a shift to days. I'm pretty sure this is going to be a drastic change for us, but I'm so thrilled he'll be home at nights. The mornings will be boy time before he heads in, and then I'll get the day (including nap time) to share the joy of M.
We put up our Christmas tree on Saturday and M has had a great time putting the ornaments on and then taking them off again. Even the new nativity set (little people style) has found its way into the tree. Tonight we had an adventure of making something together and I don't think I anticipated the mess that we made - now that we'll definitely have to post some pictures. M was so proud of his masterpiece - gluten-free pumpkin squares - and ate it very willingly. It's so tasty, I'm sending some to work for Rob tomorrow so I'm not left with the whole pan.
Well, short update tonight, but I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. Pictures to come -- I promise.

Gardening...Joy or Pain?

After weeks of dreaming that the soil in our garden would turn into nourished, soft dirt I determined it appropriate to start planting. This weekend Rob and I took to the garden (once again), but this time are blessed with the virtue of seeing some fruits of our labor. Albeit through rocky soil, there is growth. I've taken some photos to let you in on our plans for the garden this year.  Strawberries!!  Yum! I've never planted strawberries before, but Grandma Garden says these are the sweetest strawberries she's ever grown. Besides, she supplied me with the starts and I figured it's worth a try.  Peas are the next item that have started to sprout. Actually, Rob and I planted these from seed a couple of weeks ago and are now seeing growth. Rob planted one row and I the other. His are growing heartily and strong, while mine are still  struggling to break through the soil. They are determined though. I've never grown peas, so this will be a fun adventure.  Here comes t...

New Adventures

**WARNING: New Mother topics addressed below, read at your own discretion.** Today was the beginning of our new adventure with cloth diapers. The ones we've selected are super cute, and seem to fit M very well. Unfortunately, today was also the day Mr. M had several bowel movements. (Sorry - if this is too much information.) M generally only messes one to two diapers in a day, but today we hit a record high of seven! That's right, SEVEN; and cloth nonetheless. Perhaps the cloth is so comforting his body just releases so much easier. ;) However, it was a great day. M was wonderful on our car ride to Idaho for Thanksgiving and entertained many with his adorable laugh. We are trying to get it recorded to share with everyone, but M is still concerned with the camera activity. I did catch a few photos that help define his little personality. Enjoy! M loves his bathrobe and looks like a complete "lounge out" male when he wears it. (Thanks Erin and Jesse!) I also love...

When you're 16 going on 17

At any given time, at least half my family will be singing that "Sound of Music" tune when they open this page. I know how to aggravate the symptoms of "singing disease." But the reference has nothing to do with Liesl, Rolf and Maria; rather, this is a tribute to KG, Paul and Ray-Ray. The Boston Celtics — the reason I started watching basketball, thanks to my Uncle Pat — have won their first NBA championship since ... about a year before I started watching basketball. (I was 8, if anyone's keeping score.) And they went from 16 championships to 17 championships. Paul Pierce, left, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen But I was fortunate to have the night off and be able to watch it with my dear wife, Cindy, who not only tolerates me watching and endlessly commenting about sports, but she chimes in with some good points herself. "Garnett is so intense, but he has fun, too." Had I been at work, the above headline would have been my suggestion to the sports department...
