Our Week

Like father, like son.  Dad sits on a bucket, Wade finds one too! (a Crisco can)  This is in one of the infamous mice cubbies.  And I just am laughing because Wade has started waking up from naps (or in the AM) and yelling, "MOM!  MOM!  MOM!"  It is so funny.  And much better than screaming!!!  I just fetched him from his crib and need to note another thing: he strokes the ends of my hair when I hold him and let's be honest, I loooove that.  Hair is my favorite thing.

I finally finished my afghan!  It took a good couple of months, but it is done and it is heavy and chunky and I love it.

 Wade had his first sledding experience on Saturday.  We drove to Walsburg and he fell asleep.  So I stayed in the car for maybe 30 minutes until he woke up, and then he watched with wide-eyed wonder (and a little nervousness) at everyone.  It helped when his buddy was sledding alone, so he finally went with Per, then with his buddy.  With the buddy, they unfortunately biffed the side of a jump someone had made and fell out onto the snow.  Wade refused his mittens, so the shock of cold on his hands AND face was very unpleasant and caused extreme distress and crying hysteria.  He has fully recovered.

 Preceding the sledding extravaganza was Madeline's baby shower, hosted by yours-truly (and Jami, of course, because Jami is the ultimate assistance to any function and deserves high credit).  It was fun.  I even made some silk flower arrangements that I quite enjoy around my house now, and a lace modge-podged "I" that I gifted Maddy (her baby will be named Ivory.  Ivie for short.  Sorry if these are things I was not supposed to reveal to the world wide web, Mad)

 Cute 35 week Maddy in her new dress that I now desire myself.   Love love love.

 Bye!!
