Winter Wonderland

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello little man!  This morning we woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland!  I woke up before you and daddy and took some pictures of the back yard and the front yard.  Once you woke up, you had your usual breakfast downstairs and watched the snow fall out the window while eating.  It continued to snow until about noon.  

Did you know that no two snow flakes are exactly alike?  God made them all different, just like people.  Each snow flake is one in a million .... just like you and Peanut!  God made you and Peanut perfect and special.  :-)

Oh, we had lots of birds at our feeder too!  I guess it's hard for them to find food with all the snow!  Daddy went out there and filled up the feeder for them.  Then, I went out there and added some more food against the deck railing since more birds kept coming!  I saw 9 birds hovering around our little feeder at one time!

Daddy and I did things around the house today since we weren't going anywhere with the snow.  We ran four loads of laundry .... put your crib back together in the nursery (Not like you've been sleeping in it!  We need to work on that!) .... tried to organize the bonus room more .... went through all the Peanut clothes that were given to us from family and friends and organized them.

We had pot roast for lunch.  It turned out pretty good for our first time.  ;-)  You had banana yogurt and and bottle.  

After lunch, you ended up taking an afternoon nap.  I read a little and daddy watched some television .... but eventually we took a nap too!  Oh, I know we were suppose to see Gigi's side of the family for Christmas today and display our crafts, but due to the snow, it was delayed.  I'll let you know when it's rescheduled so we can show off our wonderful paper plate crafts!  :-)

You tried something new for dinner today ..... a lasagna with meat sauce mixture.  You liked it and also had some cheerios and a bottle.

This evening we relaxed in the bonus room.  I felt a lot of Peanut kicks today.  She kicked you again when you fell asleep for your nap on me.  ;-)  Oh, and we ordered your uncle's birthday gift.  Uncle Brennan's birthday is on January first .... he was a New Year's baby! 

After your evening bath, you watched the movie 'Muppets take Manhattan' with daddy and I.  ;-)

The snow didn't really melt today, so I'm sure things will be slow tomorrow too.   The official report is that Raleigh got 8 inches of snow today!  Daddy is working from home this week, so you'll get to see him tomorrow too!  Good thing we don't have to go any where tomorrow since things will refreeze tonight too.  

Sleep tight little precious!

I love you!  :-)
