Christmas!!!!

So I've given up even thinking that I'm going to promise to update this thing twice a week, or once a week, or even once every two weeks. I'm just going to update it whenever I feel like writing, and that'll be it. Sorry.

Robert Alan had his first Christmas celebration tonight! David's mom always hosts Christmas for us on Christmas Eve's eve so that everyone can go to their other family's Christmas celebrations on Christmas eve and Christmas day. It was good. Robert Alan got a lot of stuff that he doesn't even understand. Oh well. He was really good and actually did seem to look at some of the toys he got. That's all I can ask for. I love him so much. He gets cuter by the day.

I don't really have much on my mind right now. I'm pretty tired--last-minute Christmas shopping and wrapping can wear a girl out! I don't recommend it, but it's all we could do this year. I'm so excited for Christmas morning. I need to go to the grocery store tomorrow and get something to make for breakfast Christmas morning. It will just be David, Robert Alan, and me Christmas morning and I'm SO EXCITED about that. We'll get to lounge around and do what we want and then we'll go to my sister's for my family's Christmas celebration. That'll be fun, but I'm nervous about her dogs. They're big, and today I started thinking of where I would put Robert Alan for his naps--the dogs go everywhere in the house and jump on the furniture and everything, so really no place is safe because I can't shut the door to any room or else I won't hear him when he wakes up.....we'll figure it out though. :-) I feel so blessed for my family.

Talk to you later!

So GRATEFUL!

I feel like a lot of times, I take for granted the simple things. Health, love, family, friends. I am so blessed to have a loving husband. He is so wonderful to me and to our son. We are all healthy, and I am so grateful for that. I can't believe we have gone 6 weeks and I have complained as much as I have about the seemingly endless crying (it isn't endless), sleepless nights (they aren't that sleepless), and the endless chores that don't get done (the do get done and they aren't endless). I recently found out about a sorority sister of mine who had her second baby boy 3 weeks after Robert Alan was born. He's 3 weeks old now, and he's been in the hospital since the Monday after Thanksgiving with breathing problems. He took a turn for the worst last night, and now they are on their way to Cook's hospital. You can keep up with her updates at http://www.kristyboyd.blogspot.com/. The baby's name is Hayes, mom is Kristy, dad is Lee, and big brother is Price. I can't imagine seeing my little baby boy hooked up to so many monitors, oxygen tents, etc. It has to be so hard. Please keep this family in your prayers.

Letting us know how much he hates taking pictures.

All better now!
