Christmas Highlights - The House

Well, we haven't exactly gotten a camera charger yet, but I figure in the meantime it's probably about time to post some more about Christmas anyway.

This past Christmas was our first trip to my folks' new house, which is about 3 minutes down the road from the house I grew up in. I was apprehensive before we went, because I knew it just wouldn't be the same, but once we got there it was amazing. They've worked their fannies off to get it just the way they want it.

    I really want a library in my future home. Which hopefully will be found sooner rather than later.

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
