COLD!

It's so cold today.  This morning Tom Wills reported that the wind chill was -12 F.  THAT'S Cold, I don't care who you are!  The temp outside was actually 0!  Yep, O.  I know it's colder for some of my northern friends, but we're in the south!

This picture was taken taken as Davis was leaving for school.  He had on 3 shirts!  He was wearing his under shirt, his button up shirt, & then the sweater.  I'm sure if he gets hot in school, the teacher will start pulling off layers.  I had to iron his cords this morning b/c I thought they would be warmer pants to wear.  

Notice his hair!  I'm loving how long & thick it is.  After sleeping on it when it's clean, it's got little curly waves in the back.  I trimmed it on Wednesday to buy us some more time.  I'm trying to figure out if we should cut it short again.  It's so cute when it's short.  You can focus on his eyes & smile more, but this is much warmer on his big head right now!

He was being silly in these pics, which is his favorite thing to do right now.  He'll let me take a couple shots of him doing what I ask & then he puts on his silly face & there's no turning back.  

Sunday is our 6 year anniversary.  We're thinking of going here to dinner.  There's actually 2 restaurants there.  They are owned & managed by the same person & share a kitchen.  We're eating on Jack's Lounge side.  We wanted someplace we don't normally go & thought this sounded good.  I've eaten at Jack's on GNO (Girl's Night Out), but it's been awhile.  

We're still open to suggestions if anyone has something in mind.  We're also planning on seeing a movie.  Davis will be at Nana & Papaw's house.  He hasn't spent the night w/ them since before Christmas, so this should be fun.  

Oh, notice the new blue pant doesn't go all the way down the wall?  Danny ran out & is hoping to finish it up & start on the trim this weekend!  It's hard to get it done w/ Davis in the house b/c he wants to "help"!

Christmas & bedtime

OH, so it's officially come & gone.  Christmas!  

We had a wonderful time visiting w/ friends & family this past week.  

Looking back at Christmas 2008, I can truly say we had a wonderful Christmas!  Davis received everything he asked for (except Wild Banchee, he was unable to be found), Daddy got tons of clothes, I received my laptop & a few wonderful unexpected gifts, & we were able to give gifts to the ones we loved.  But, most importantly we had a great time w/, my family & the Barnes family.  We were able to catch up & let Davis know his cousins a little better.  

I am so thankful for our family, friends, all we have, but most importantly I am so very thankful for Jesus!  I'm thankful that Jesus loves me right where I am!  I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not or change the world to be something it's just not.  I can believe in Santa, carry a Coach purse, & watch Grey's Anantomy, & still be loved by Jesus!  

Right now it's bedtime in the Barnes' house.  Davis is asleep.  Once 5 pm hits, this is the time of day I look forward to.  This is 'me time'.  I get so exhausted & can't wait for bedtime for Davis.  So, I can catch up on tv, blog, or play wii.  Once I know he's asleep, I go in & check on him.  He looks so sweet asleep & then I start missing him.  I miss loving on him, playing games, learning new songs, the endless questions of 'why', & waiting for the next funny thing he'll say.  I can't wait to spend another day w/ him..... and then I'll get some me time again!

Oh, one more thing.... this picture is one of my failed attempts at our Christmas card this year.  We were trying to get Davis, Bowie, & Annabelle in the pic.  For some reason our Annabelle wanted to play more than she wanted to have her picture made!
