What we've been up to

We had a really nice Christmas this year. Ira is finally getting old enough to sort of understand the whole Santa thing. This is him on Christmas Eve in his Consignment Sale $6 suit and his $1 Van Heusen shirt and tie from JC Penneys. (Not that I'm proud of that deal or anything...)

Santa brought Ira what he had been asking for for nearly a year: a drumset. He absolutely LOVES playing his drums!! (Although right now he currently can't play them because his drumstick made its way into the bass drum via the hole for one of the toms - can't really play with one drumstick, can't really play the bass or it might ruin it... bummer... he's still trying to figure out what to do about that one...)

Notice the tic tacs sitting on the "throne" next to Ira. They were in his stocking. Of the 60+ tic tacs in the package, I think he had about 17 left by the end of the morning. (As a side note, I think Ira really looks like me in this picture.)

Baby and I are doing well! This is us the day after Christmas (29w5d.)

Our crib we ordered finally came in! (Ira's was one of the Simplicity ones that had been recalled, so we took it back and got our money back and got this one from Tiny Tykes instead. No moving parts and solid as a rock! Our grandkids (God willing) will be able to sleep in this crib!)

Andy and I on our annual trip to Kansas City to see the lights at the Plaza.

Look at that cutie pie of a baby! We think it has the most precious chipmunk cheeks! This was at our most recent Bio-physical Profile Sono this past Monday. Everything still looks great with baby, so here's hoping we can go all the way to 40 weeks!

Other than that, we haven't been up to a whole heck of a lot. We started making a chore chart for Ira, in hopes that by the time baby comes, they will be old-hat/habit. We'll see how that goes. Well, I think I hear Mr. Man awake from his "Quiet Time" So until next time!
