Christmas Deco--Check!

Not sure where the motivation came from, but the day after Thanksgiving....it arrived! That feeling you get and you're like, if I don't do it now, I may never do it, so just go for it! So, I lugged all the boxes up from the basement and the decorating began! Aunt Carrie made it over just in time to help with the outdoor lights (which I am no good at). Thanks Car! Now, we'll see how long this tree thing lasts with little Jude's hands into everything, but we're going to give it a whirl!

Coloring: A new experience

So, we enlightened Jude with crayons and a coloring book for the first time at chilli's the other day and I think it was the best meal; eaten out; WITH Jude, we've ever had! So, I thought, "why not buy him some?" He went nuts last night with it! He really gets into it...concentrates and everything!

Little Stud

So, not only did Jude not look like a girl today at church...he looked quite manly if you ask

me..Although, he slept through most of church so I really don't think anyone got to see him!

My baby gets a haircut

Well, after 3 Sundays in a row of Jude being called a "girl" because of his cute little golden locks...I decided I should maybe trim it up a bit. This is really hard to do, because you see, it makes him look older or something.. I like the "hippy-look" he had going, but Abe really didn't care for the "oh, isn't SHE adorable" comments anymore. Tonight, he was enthralled w/ the water coming out of the faucet, so I thought, "What better time than now to get out the scissors."
He's still got a few fly-aways, so it doesn't look totally clean-cut..for those of you "hippy-look" fans! (Katie & Joy)
