We're visiting Cullen's office today, so I'm taking advantage of an internet opportunity. Cullen's parents are in town and wanted to see what he does. Maybe someday I'll finally get the 3 projects in PA straight... I always get confused which is which.
This past week was a good one for us, Cullen only traveled one night. Next week will be very chaotic on the other hand... we're all traveling with Cullen to Charleston for a conference Monday to Wednesday, then Cullen will be flying out to PA on Wednesday shortly after we get home. He'll be home Friday night and hopefully we'll have a very restful weekend. The busyness at work is starting to wear on him and he's been rather exhausted lately. We went to bed at the same time as Scott on Thursday. I'm hoping it will pass as the PA projects all pass their peaks.
Scott is growing fast. It's hard to believe he's over 2 months old now. He's starting to want to do things a lot more and that seems to be frustrating him some. I think his hair is getting a bit thicker, though a couple of people have mentioned they think it's thinner... who knows. This past week we got to have some friends from church over for an afternoon. Maddie is almost 3 months older than Scott, so it was interesting to let them "play" together. They laid on a blanket and stared at each other... well Scott stared at Maddie and smiled like crazy at her. Maddie mostly tried to turn away, but when she did face him she grabbed his arm. Julie and I said they were holding hands. It was cute. Maddie obviously has quite a bit more large motor control than Scott does, since she's a bit older.
I'm donig good. Feeling better after I had an infection a couple of weeks ago and another rather painful nursing problem last week. I also managed to get back to running this week. Jogging strollers are a pain in the arms/shoulders. (Yes, Scott is still too young to run... but I wedged his head with a towel, so he was fine and rather enjoyed the ride.)
Well... time to get going as I think the tour is over.

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...
