It's all about the comforts...

Ugh... I hate getting sick. That's exactly what happened yesterday. All is great at work, and then wham... my head's in the wastebasket. What's worse is that Steve and I carpooled yesterday to save gas... well that was a great idea... Steve had to come get me at work, take me home, then drive back to work... We saved a lot of gas alright..

I get home and go straight to bed... In my bed is Carson's flannel sleep sack that she wears over her pjs.. it still had the her baby lotion smell.. That was the most comforting thing I could have wished for.. I snuggled up to it, and just fell asleep.. When I woke up, one of my favorite movies "Anne of Green Gables" was on WGBH, so despite being sick, it was a comforting afternoon.

Post Turkey-Day Thoughts

Thanksgiving Day and the Saturday after are the days to travel, or so I'm told. My Mom, Grandmother and Sister all flew up on Thanksgiving day, and had the easiest time, and the same practically for the Saturday after... I've traveled on Christmas day a few times, and that day is a breeze for flying, but I have never flown on Thanksgiving (I've always been with the other 5 million crazy people who fly the day before Thanksgiving).. but you know what? I would totally fly on Turkey Day.. it gets you out of dinner preparations... you just fly and then eat. The only thing you miss is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade... and you know what... I could live with that.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, I sure did. We have a lot to be thankful for this year, as I'm sure a lot of you did too. I was very fortunate to have part of my family up here this year.. They got to see the baby and house all in one trip!

Well, I've been told to update our pictures with pics of the new house and Carson, so check them out.. http://picasaweb.google.com/spitt926

On to the Christmas frenzy! To my small fanclub in the South, we'll be home (yes, with Carson) Christmas Day through New Year's Day....

Princess Leia

Carson as Princess Leia!!!

Happy Fall everyone! Its been a busy one for us! We are almost all settled into our new home! We moved this past weekend (in the rain)! Between Carson, work, travel, packing, painting, and moving... we are exhausted, but very happy! We sat at home last night and passed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. We got at least 50-75 kids easily (and we got home a little late!) . We're in a great neighborhood. Some of our neighbors have come over and introduced themselves and in some cases, brought baked goods!!

The commute is something we are having a hard time adjusting to, but we are slowly getting it together. We're carpooling a few days a week, which makes the time pass a little better.

We tried spoon-feeding Carson again... she seems a little more interested this time around, so we'll start the feeding schedule. Time's flying... she's almost 6 months old!!
