Wonderful Home!

So, I have to say that the reason I haven't been keeping up with this blog is because I broke my computer. :( So very sad...so now I have to wait until I get a computer. But, our wonderful friends, Brandon and Molly have let us borrow their computer until they get back to Idaho (they get to stay in Maryland for a semester...lucky!) so we won't have to buy another computer for a little while...phew!

But now I have to tell you about our wonderful holidays! We were supposed to fly out to Maryland on the 19th this month but because Maryland decided to have a huge blizzard that day (what's up with that? Maryland barely ever gets snow!!) our flight was canceled and we had to wait until Monday the 21st to fly out. Luckily, our wonderful brother-in-law was still home and let us stay with him until we could leave. So, we flew home...David was absolutely wonderful on the plane, and we are probably jinxing him for the flight back, but he was wonderful! We had a wonderful Christmas with all of our family members and they absolutely LOVE David...but then again who couldn't?! lol We're bias! Now, we think he might be teething...we are most definitely going to miss his toothless smile, so he's not too happy right now. Plus, he fell off of a bed last night so he's got a bump on his head. That scared me to death...I took him upstairs to put him down for a nap and when he fell asleep, I piled pillows all around him stupidly thinking he would be okay...then I went back downstairs with my family. About 10 minutes later we hear a big crashing noise from upstairs, Brandon was the first one upstairs and sure enough David was on the floor screaming! He had the biggest red bump on his head, but after we calmed him down he seemed to be okay. It still made me feel terrible...but then my mom told me stories about all of us hitting our heads and Brandon's mom told me about all of her kids hitting their heads and so I decided that it was just something little kids just have to do. They have to scare their parents some how!

So that has been our eventful holiday...we are still waiting to see what will happen on New Year's Eve and Day! Oh, and there has been a lot more things happening but I really don't want to be here all night! Maybe I'll write a little more later...

So Tired!

Lately, David had been doing a wonderful job of sleeping through the night. He woke up periodically, but all I had to do was put the pacifier back into his mouth and he would go right back to sleep. It was wonderful! But I guess I was bragging a little too much about it because now he refuses to go to sleep even though he so totally tired. He fuses and cries, and he can't get comfortable in our arms but absolutely hates to be put down. I know I should just let him cry himself to sleep...but that boy can cry! I have yet to see him cry himself to sleep. There was one night he cried for about 45 minutes and he sounded like he could have gone on a whole lot longer. And last night, he woke up like 4 times. Of course, Brandon doesn't hear him crying so I'm the one who has to comfort him. So I'm pretty tired today...and I get cranky when I'm tired...ask Brandon. I just wish I knew what to do for him...what he wanted...so we both could get the sleep we need (although David gets to take naps during the day...while I have things to do). I don't know what to do!

And it's snowing today...of course. I'm actually kind of excited to have our first real big snow storm just because we are in a new place. However, we still have yet to get Brandon new tires for his car...and his car is the only one he can take on campus because it's the only one that has a permit. So now I'm going to worry about him driving...I hate worrying because my mind decides to think up the worst case scenarios. But like all couples starting a family, we don't have the money to get him new ones. I am slightly comforted to know that Brandon is a good driver...a confident driver who doesn't really care that it's snowing (I start freaking out if it's flurrying), but what about all those other people on the road who aren't such good drivers? Oh, I just pray that he will be okay.

Thanksgiving Nerves

The other day I was grocery shopping and on my list was a bunch of food for a Thanksgiving meal. We decided to have Thanksgiving as our little family and not travel anywhere or visit anyone. Kind of like a new tradition...we shall see anyways. So as I'm shopping for the turkey and everything else, it hits me that I'm the one who will be cooking all the food this year. I have never cooked a Thanksgiving meal in my whole entire life! I didn't even really cook until we got married...granted, Brandon says he likes my cooking, so I wasn't really worried before. But now, I've never cooked a turkey before...I don't even know where to start...and all the other things that go with a Thanksgiving meal...how am I supposed to cook all of those things? Ahhh! I am slightly freaking out! :) So, all this week I am going to be making a plan...a plan of what I am going to cook, how long each one has to cook, and when I need to start cooking everything in order to have a hot meal on the table by dinner time! I think that should help! Plus, we aren't having a full blown turkey...what's the point with just two people eating? We just decided to have a turkey breast instead...so I feel slightly better about that...but only slightly. Well, we shall see how everything goes. Even if I burn everything, I know that Brandon will still eat it...I know he will tell me it stinks (he's just that way) , but he will still eat it because he's just that way! And I love him for that! Well...wish me luck!

New Pictures

Just some new pictures of our adorable son...he's definitely going to be a charmer!

Stupid Internet!

Last week, our power went out for like a couple of minutes but since then our internet hasn't really worked the way it's supposed to. Brandon will come home from class and have to fix it and get it working again and then the very next day it will be down. It has been a real pain...and Brandon's getting pretty frustrated...so while it's working I figured I might as well enjoy it while it last!

Not much to report...David is growing fast! He is now rolling all over like a pro...which is fun to watch but a pain when I'm trying to change or put clothes on him. Brandon is acing all of his classes and just got a 105% on one of his tests...and he didn't even study!! He doesn't know how lucky he is!! To get that grade, I have to study my butt off!! :) I've registered for 2 classes next semester...so I'm really excited to get back to school and finally finish, but I'm worried about leaving David. I have to find someone to babysit him on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I know he'll be alright, but I still worry.
