Schools Out For Winter

And it couldn't have come any sooner.  The thought of spending my evenings at home with my beautiful wife and precious little man has me praying that the next four weeks go by as slowly as they possibly can.  Another semester down and the end in sight...just two more left and then...well, I don't know what then.  What will I do with my "spare time"?  Maybe I'll take up another hobby for a few weekends and then put it on the back burner to be picked up later...fly fishing - check.  golf - check.  What else can I try.  Any suggestions? 

So we finally got new furniture today.  We replaced the old sofa/futon that Kili's nails had destroyed with a sectional sofa that has tons of sitting room and is actually comfortable to sit on.  Here's the thing though...apparently somebody (me) doesn't know how to use a tape measure...it's about 1/2 an inch too big and the front door won't shut when the sofa is all the way against the back wall.  For now the sofa is about a foot off of the wall which shrinks the size of an already tiny space, so tomorrow I'll be rearranging the living room which I'm thrilled about

So I was about to tell you all that momma and homeboy were sleeping on the nice new sofa...but now he's awake and in a foul mood.  He has a gas issue every so often and there is little we can do to console him.  After about 20 minutes of trying he is now screaming bloody murder in his bassinet...

...ok after a 1/2 serving of Mylacon and a 1/2 serving of Gripe Water, the Gripe Water seems to have worked...for the most part. 

Well I better go ahead and end this post.  I was going to discuss how poorly the Eagles played today...like 6 turnovers in route to a semi-final playoff loss.  But I'll have to skip that in order to give mom a break in trying to keep homeboy content. 

Before I sign off I would like to thank all of our friends who have come by to visit and hang out.  We love having you over, stop by anytime.  A special thanks to Tina for her time here Friday and the casserole that she left.  Haven't tried it yet but it looks fantastic.  Thanks to the Moshells for dinner last night...the lasagna was outstanding...sorry John we didn't eat in time to send home leftovers.  And also to Katie and Ryan for bringing over lunch today and hanging out to watch the Southern game.  And finally to Blair Bear for hanging out today and for the really awesome travel blanket that she gave us for Christmas. 

One last thing...instead of keeping too many pictures here, we started a Shutterfly account to keep ALL of our pictures on...the link is over to the right of the page...feel free to check them out.

Ok, off to duty.  Have a good night
