Busy Month...and it's not over yet!


















So, one of the reasons I haven't blogged in a long time is because I hate sitting down in our dungeon of a basement, where it is cold and not really a fun place to cozy up and write. Just now, on my way to sit down and blog, my feelings of our lovely basement were confirmed. Just when I reached the bottom of the stairs, there was an enormous spider waiting for me, as if saying "stay out, this is my domain." It's not the first encounter I've had with these lovely 8 legged creatures, I pretty much have to kill one (or try to but sometimes those buggers get away) every time I come downstairs to blog or do laundry. Hmm, no wonder Josh does the majority of the laundry here in the Leatherow household. Anyway, I tried to kill this one with a plastic water bottle, but those really aren't too conducive for killing spiders. I'm sure he'll get his next time he tries to run across my feet. So, a nice laptop would solve all my problems!!
This month has been crazy busy, as I'm sure you all know. I think we have most of our Christmas shopping done, I just have to get Josh a few more things and then we are good to go. We did spoil Liam this year, he is getting plenty of toys, clothes, books, and Cd's. Cd's for a 7 month old you ask??? They are for the stereo we got him for his bedroom. That little boy loves to listen to music, so we got a whole bunch of lullaby Cd's for him to listen to when he goes to bed. The best part of having a 7 month old at Christmas time is, you can take them shopping with you and they have no clue that you are buying stuff for them!
Liam is doing great, still growing like a weed! I think he is up to around 20 lbs now, Grandpa Bob weighed him today when we went over to visit. He got Liam his first rocking horse for Christmas, it is the cutest thing. Liam gave it a test run today and loved it!! He is getting into the crawling position a little more, but still doesn't go anywhere. He is such a good boy and the joy of our lives, we love him so much and are so blessed to have a strong, healthy boy!!
As for Josh and myself, nothing really new with us. Here is a random thought...so, the medication that I am on called Plavix must really thin out my blood because I have been so cold lately. I'm pretty sure I'm in a state of hypothermia all the time. Seriously, I shiver constantly if I don't have a lot of layers on or if I'm not sitting by the heater vent. To bed, I wear thermal pants, a sweatshirt, then we have our quilt, then on top of that I double over our big down comforter so I have 2 layers of that. Then, most of the time I have to sleep with my head under the covers because my head and nose gets cold. I will be glad when Winter is over and the 80 degrees is back!!
I guess that's all I have to say for now, attached are some cute pics of Liam and one of our Christmas tree. Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas!!

Haha... we still take Kaestin shopping with us when we are buying him stuff, Liam won't grow out of that for awhile.
Good idea on the CD's. Kaestin listens to the Curious George soundtrack every night in his room!
