Water Main Break and a Few Fun Days!

First, we wanted everyone to know that we are okay! Thank you to all of the friends and family that called to check on us. For those of you who did not see the story, there was a HUGE water main break in the area (very close to where daddy and I go to school). The video is terrifying (it is on cnn.com). We were home when the break occurred and we do have water (but the hospital down the road does not so we are very lucky).

On a lighter note, I had a great weekend! Saturday I went to Papa and Grandma's house for the night! We played and they let me stay up late. I fell asleep in their bed while watching the Wizard of Oz and I stayed there all night. I am not sure Papa and Grandma slept well because I kick, spin and move a lot but I had fun!

Daddy and mommy picked me up Sunday and we drove to Annapolis to my Aunt Mary Aleese's party. It was great to see all of my extended family. Mommy was not too good at taking pictures but she got a few of me in my cute outfit (and one of me playing with Pops and Gams). Cousin Bobby posted a few pictures on his blog if you want to check them out.

Yesterday was VERY cold and VERY windy (not Iowa or South Dakota cold but still cold for us). Mommy and I ran a few errands early in the morning so daddy could sleep in. Besides that and a quick trip to the grocery store, we stayed inside where it was warm and played all day.

Daddy and I let mommy sleep in today. We played on the couch a lot and my hair was CRAZY. Daddy took a few pictures of me playing! He dressed me in my favorite new Rudolph shirt (you have seen it in the blog before). I LOVE that Rudolph's nose blinks!

After getting ready, mommy and I went to Gymboree. Aunt Jen was there too! I had so much fun playing and we finally used the gift certificate from Bobby, Jen and Kevin! I get to go back a few more times in January to play AND there was a little left over so mommy bought me a TUNNEL! I love tunnels! The bubbles and parachute were my favorite part of the day. Mommy took a few pictures of the fun!

I am napping now and we were going to visit Pops' office after but they had to close down because of the water main break. Daddy is visiting with Uncle Noah for a few hours so depending on how adventurous Mommy is feeling, we might try to go to Target for a few last minute items!

Mommy and daddy are going on a date tonight with Aunt Mindy and Uncle Mike (assuming the restaurant has water). Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I am all ready to put out carrots and cookies (but not the ones mommy and I made yesterday because daddy ate them all)! It is going to be a fun and exhausting few days and then the Browns come to stay with us for SEVEN days!!!

More soon! Stay warm!

PS: While posting this, the doorbell rang... Mommy opened the door to a dozen little girls in the freezing cold and was serenaded with Christmas carols! It is the little things that make you appreciate the holidays... Mommy misses those days when we used to carol our neighbors!
