Carnival rides

Cole and I went to the carnival this past week with a friend from when I was working. It was $5 wristband day, all you can ride for $5. Cole rode one ride. The best $5 I ever spent to see his face light up when he saw the trucks.

(Be sure to pause the music on the right.)

Head Tilt Revelations

I never see it happening or even know that it has happened until Cole tells me "no" as he points to his nose. The first time I thought it was "boogies" so I got a tissue and wiped him. He came back and said "no" again pointing to his nose, then he said "chicken". I titled his head up and sure enough there was a huge piece of chicken wedged up there! This was Sunday evening.

So Wednesday Will and I went out with some friends for my birthday and when we came home Cole was eating cereal (Cheerios). He came up to me pointing to his nose and said "cereo". Can you guess what the old head tilt revealed?

Busted

Will was watching tv and I was working on a birthday invite for a client in the study. Gloria comes out of her bedroom and asks where Cole is. Will says he's with me, I reply he's with Will.

Uh oh,...

We found him just a few seconds later, he pointed and said "gross"...

















Notice the roll is empty? That's right, that's the whole roll in the toilet...What do you do but bust out laughing???

Cowboy Cole

Will and I went on a date finally. He has been sick all week long and we have been wanting to watch Four Christmases. It was a great movie! We also finally brought the horse Aunt Wanda gave Cole home. First thing he did was ride it.



Daily Prayer for January 2:

"Dear Lord, your right hand has supported me in these ways..."

Ringing in the New Year...

with a click (of the mouse button).

We all stayed in and watched movies. Will and Cole are both sicky-pooh so nobody wanted to come over and catch the flu. Bummer right? They are actually in bed right now, so I decided to get me some computer time!

I was driving home today and I was thinking about Cole's birth. Will and I talk about it often and it's so nice to look back on it. I remember feeling that the world had stopped, and in that moment, in those first few days, how nobody and nothing else mattered. I was complete.

I pray for a baby brother or sister for Cole and I forget how truly blessed we are to have this little man in our lives. Perhaps, I should spend less time praying for another little miracle and some time thanking Him for the blessings I already have...

These are some of my New Years Resolutions:
to be grateful more often
to want less
to have something to offer emotionally (help here Sissy)
to cook meals for my family regularly
to be super duper awesome at designing and all things digital
to balance the checkbook (do not laugh Will and all his coworkers-Ken...Tony-I am serious!)
to be more attentive to my son and husband (spend less time on the computer)

It is midnight as I write this line! I would not have known had the fireworks not started blasting off. Will and Cole are asleep already. I wish Cole could see the fireworks :(

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!
