Our Christmas Break

So I find that since I'm not working, I spend very little time on the computer. Besides that, we have been spending the last week plus in Minnesota with family. I'm certainly not sitting here bored, especially with 2 kids. I'm supposed to be back to work this week, but due to technical difficulties, I'm still sitting here not working. It doesn't bother me a whole lot.

We were supposed to have baptism of Phineas Dec. 21 in Volga, SD, but due to the lovely Minnesota weather, i.e. blowing snow, below zero temps, we did not have it. We managed to schedule it for New Year's day in my parents' church, which we also did with Ben. Hopefully everything works out for that service. At least it's not much of a drive.

So we have just been eating, playing games, and watching various TV and movies. I am enjoying HGTV while I can. The grandparents are enjoying the boys.

So I have a few things to do and I will try to update when we get home next week.

Ben Likes His Stairs

So Saturday Jon was downstairs on the computer. I went down to get some laundry and I heard Jon say hi to Ben. I thought Jon had gone to get him because I heard some thumping on the stairs. Jon thought I had brought him down with me. After some confusion and wondering, Jon brought Ben back upstairs. Sure enough, he started right back down. After this he proceeded to spend at least a half hour going up and down the stairs, practicing I suppose. He is enjoying his new freedom of going down the stairs. I put the gate up yesterday and he started crying.

We are doing well here. I hear the word "baby" a thousand times a day from Ben, many of them followed with a kiss if he has access. Ben is very concerned if Finn even makes a peep. It's very sweet.

We are heading to Minnesota on Friday to spend 2 weeks with our families. Jon will also be doing some preaching. Everyone will get to meet Finn and I'm sure they will enjoy Ben. He has changed so much since his aunts and uncles last saw him.

Sorry to make this short, but it's time to go to bed so I can get some shopping and packing in. Tomorrow may be a long day.

Quick Update

So I have been home just over a week with all my boys. My parents have come and gone. Jon's mom is here right now for a few days. Things are going well so far. Ben is doing well. He has lots of kisses for his brother as well as a few hits. His little tantrums have gotten a bit worse but I'm sure they will get better soon. Finn is a very good baby. We're up a couple times a night. That's all I have right now. My brain isn't working well right now from lack of sleep.
