Priorities

Before we unpacked any boxes, even before our bed was put together, we had to put up our tree. It has certainly helped. Having an unorganized condo with lots of boxes, it's nice to be able to look at the tree and listen to some Christmas music and actually be able to enjoy the season a little bit. It shocks me that Christmas is only a week away. I feel like I've been robbed of this Christmas season so far. We haven't been able to really get in the spirit, I don't think, anyway.

It's cold here. That seems like it would make it seem more Chritmasy, but it really doesn't to me. I don't really associate cold weather and snow with Christmas. I associate 50 degree rainy weather with Christmas. Anyhow, Jeremy got back last night with the rest of our stuff and he left everything in the U-Haul overnight, and today, when he got it all out, we found that many things were frozen. Jack's diaper wipes, and all of the almost empty bottles of beverage he consumed on the road.




And I had to include this picture. Jack found my Disneyland cap in one of our boxes and he enjoys putting it on and taking it off because it's much easier to do than with his dad's hats.

My, how you have grown.

Pork chops...

Jack successfully ate with a spoon by himself today. Well, I say "successfuly." He certainly doesn't understand the concept of scooping up the food-- most of the time, him getting food on his spoon was just luck-- but I was able to put the bowl in front of him and he pretty much ate the whole bowl of applesauce by himself. I would post a video, but, being in the midst of moving, I do not know where my camera is. That also prevents me from posting high quality pictures, but I took these with my trusty camera phone.












Ok, gotta get back to unpacking.

(Boxes unpacked: 7)

Beep-beep!

Jack decided that he wanted to see what it was like to be sick. Pretty good timing, I'd say, since we're moving on Friday. He's been having the works... runny nose, fever, vomiting, diarrhea. Pretty fun! It's certainly been a couple of sad days. I'm not a fan of that little boy being sick. Well, I guess that's pretty obvious.

Anyhow, I'm not just blogging to tell you about Jack's sick issues... I'm mainly blogging because I have two things to show you.
