Today’s picture is one of my favorites. It is J when he was just a few days old. He was in the hospital, stuck in an incubator on photo therapy. He'd been in there for several days at this point. That's why we titled this picture, "Dear God, please let me out!" You can see the IV in his little head. Poor guy!
Ok, can I please just say that my husband is THE BEST!! We had such a wonderful weekend together, and he is really wonderful to me. He and J are such buddies, and it is a joy for me to watch them together. It makes me fall in love with R all over again. It is so funny when R leaves the room, say to get a cup of coffee or something, J will strain himself practically out of my arms trying to look around the corner for his daddy.
Saturday we had some ice on the ground, so I decided it would not be a good idea to get J out to go shopping. Instead, I left him home with Daddy, and I just went to the bank, post office, and our little local grocery store, rather than all the way into town. We decided that it did not look like we’d be able to go to our Christmas party. So we lounged and relaxed for the morning. Then later it began to look better and we decided that we could go to town after all. So we began getting ready. We dropped J off at my mom’s house and we went to town early so we could do a little shopping together before the party. We found an awesome Christian bookstore. They were out of some of the things we wanted, but we did get a new study bible for R, which is something he’s been wanting for a while. We also got two bible studies for us to do at home together.
Then we were off to the party. Wow! All I can say is Wow! Have you ever been to one of those Japanese steakhouses where they do the hibatchi style cooking at your table? It is freaking awesome! We had so much fun, and the food was super delicious. It was totally worth it, and we will be going back! Hopefully my other son T comes home again soon, because we’d like to take him and his girlfriend there. They’d really love it. That was the first thing I thought of when we were there. I was a little bad too. I had a drink. J It was called a “Madame Butterfly.” It was delicious. We were headed home to pick up J by 7:00. Not exactly wild and crazy kids, but we had fun.
Sunday was super nice. When I woke up I could hear a very strange sound. It was sleet pouring down outside! Yuck. So we opted out of going to church. Instead, R helped me get the house cleaned up, and we started our bible study. It was wonderful! Getting in the Word with my husband is one of my favorite things to do! We are studying Ephesians, which is also one of my favorite books. We kept that up most of the day, in between J’s needs. LOL We also cleaned up the house together, and R did my dishes, finished the laundry, and cleaned the basement. Did I mention I love my husband?
I put on a pot of chili, and we had my dad, step-mom (Momma J) and brother over for supper. We played several games of pool. We had a blast. J just soaked up the love!
We were off to bed at a decent time last night. I slept like a rock till J woke me up at 3:30AM. That’s right, 3:30. He was babbling happily away, and I could NOT sleep through it. So I went into his room, and there he lay in his crib, on his back with his legs sticking up in the air, just playing with his feet and talking. I gave him his binky and put his blanket back on him. I went back to bed and about 20 minutes later, he did it AGAIN! Same exact thing. So I gave him the binky a second time. I didn’t hear another peep till the normal waking up time. Thank goodness.
This morning R had to drop of J for me. He needed to have the Durango since the bug has no defrost. Imagine that, he thinks he needs to see where he’s going! So I got him bundled up and sent him off with Daddy. He looks so funny all bundled up in his snow suit. We are expecting a big ice storm tonight into tomorrow. They are already talking about this being the kind of storm that can knock down trees and power lines. Then one that came through three years ago was super nasty, and they say this could be worse. I am really praying that we do not loose our electricity. I can’t imagine trying to take care of J with no heat, not lights, no fridge for his milk, no microwave for his frozen homemade baby food. I’m sure we’d manage, but it wouldn’t be fun. I am also praying for R to make it home before the ice starts. I do not like the thought of him in that big ole truck on the ice. So if by chance you don’t hear from us for a while, don’t worry. We just don’t have electricity! LOL Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
