Happy New Year! We had a great time over the holidays with Cole celebrating his first Christmas. I loved having a long break to be home and hang out with him.
I know the winter weather has brought on challenges for many people traveling over the holidays. We came home after being gone for five days to find a couple inches of water in our basement. We couldn’t shower or use the bathroom until someone came out to clean out our floor drain.
So, we repacked, loaded up the baby and the dog and left for a nearby hotel. I was kind of excited to get use out of this little travel bed we got for the baby. Let me tell you, a 50 pound dog, 14 pound baby with a travel bed, and two adults does not leave much room in a king bed. Plus, every time Cole would move around in his travel bed the padding would crinkle. It reminded me of the scene in Big Daddy where the kid is squirming on top of the newspapers. Only it wasn’t as funny when it was happening to us…
Overall, it was a great holiday season!
I can’t resist, here is a photo of my pup trying to keep warm in northern Minnesota. My husband doesn’t appreciate when I take photos like this, because he is supposed to be a tough hunting dog. But he was perfectly content curled up on the couch by the fireplace:
I hope you get the plumbing fixed soon so you can move back to and stay in your own house.
