It's been a pretty typical week for all of us. Work, eat, sleep, etc.
Actually, we had our first baby class at the hospital class on Monday. It wasn't bad. Not sure I learned very much, but perhaps one or two helpful things for getting started nursing.
Last night and this morning we've had some winter weather, which means freezing rain. Oh joy. So, this morning we took our time with the whole getting to work thing. Cullen went in a little late and managed to avoid the biggest traffic messes by altering his route slightly. I waited a bit longer and headed in to work after it had been light out for a while and I had no troubles either.
We're pleased that our church has decided to do the Candle Light service (which would normally be on Christmas Eve) next Wednesday, so we'll get to be there for that. And of course, we'll be staring in the choirs Christmas program this Sunday morning as Mary and Joseph. The best part of that is that we'll get to carry a real baby, who's only 3 weeks old.
10 days til Christmas. We're almost in single digits!

20 Days til Christmas
Hard to believe that Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is fast approaching already. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Maryland. We got to see Mom and Dad Keen, Grandma and Papa, Uncle Buddy, Aunt Laura, and the cousins, and Jason and Amanda and Elizabeth. Wow, Elizabeth has really grown since the last time we got to see her- which wasn't really surprising, just lots of fun! And so have Nick, Kelly and Trisha! It was a great couple of days with the whole family there and we enjoyed all the activity... though it did wear Cullen out a bit, which is why I have at least one picture of him yawning.
The ladies surprised me with a baby shower on Friday afternoon, which was the best. We had a good lunch out and I got some cute and some useful baby stuff. I really enjoyed the time with them and I'm glad they thought to do that.
Patience was lonely while we were gone... she survived, unfortunately, her bed did not. I don't plan on leaving her behind again. Poor old puppy.
We've spent the past week and weekend getting decorated for Christmas and making some good progress on the bathroom. New pictures have been posted to the House Renovations Album today. The tile is down and the walls are painted. Now to do the grout, seal it, and get the toilet and sink installed. Ah, to have 2 bathrooms again. That should be done by this weekend. Then we'll see how long it takes to get the walls tiled around the bathtub. (While Patience doesn't like water at all, it's much better for ME to give her a bath than a shower and probably for her too- so it will good to have a bathtub again!) Also started baking Christmas cookies yesterday and we've been working to get Christmas cards out... just a couple of more addresses to get a hold of.
Leapfrog has been very active in my ribs lately. That's not always comfortable, but it is fun. We go back to see the midwife again on Thursday. Should be a quick easy appointment. Cullen won't be able to come this time though, because he'll be out of town for business meetings. At least it's just a routine appointment.
On with my rainy Monday...
