Christmas in Dixie

I've had a great Christmas down south! I love being on the farm. Mama thinks there's dirt in my blood. My Uncle Casey and Aunt Erin put some pictures on their blog of me at their house and at Grandmama and Grandpapa's. Check it out http://kinseyfarmhorses.blogspot.com/

Christmas Anticipation

I got my first Christmas present in the mail from my Uncle Pat, Aunt Ann and cousins Madison and Samantha. THANKS - I LOVE my new CLifford dog and video. If only pictures could squeal with excitment you might see how happy I was. This is me watching my video with Clifford while Mama packs.

We leave today to head south for Christmas. I'll write more next year.

My new stool

Mama is getting a little too big to pick me up (that baby is growing!) and wash my hands so she got me a new stool. I really feel like a big boy climbing up on it to wash my hands. I've also found other uses for it like turning it upside down and pushing it around and climbing up on other things I have trouble reaching. Daddy, Mama and I had a fun evening. What do you notice about me? Did you notice my diaper was hanging almost to my knees (mama was trying to get our money's worth out of this one)? And where are my pants (I took them off in the living room)? And my other sock was somewhere inbetween. Can you see the big goose egg on my forehead where I dove head first into the door frame? But most important - do you see my happy smile? The whole evening was so full of fun and laughter that I had a hard time settling down for bed - Mama says I am ALL BOY!

Below Zero

The past few days have been COLD - And for those of you who live in Florida, I don't mean it's below 50 - I mean it feels like it is below zero. Last night the high was 5. Yep that's a plain 5 with no zero after it. I've been playing inside, trying to let my ears heal (they seem to be doin fine so far!) and finding new things to wear to keep warm - like mama's scarf and some long johns!

Successful Surgery

This morning I had tubes put in my ears. I had a nasty ear infection (my 10th of the year) but the surgery went well. Hopefully this will prevent so many ear infections for 2007. Thanks to everyone who prayed for me to be healthy enough to have the surgery - God made me healthy enough to have the surgery and I wasn't as cranky as the doctors usually see little boys. Please keep praying that the infection will go away soon and that my hearing will be just fine. Here I am practicing wearing my ear plugs while I bath (and mama practices my munchkin hairdo).

EXTRA EXTRA!

Check out the link to the local paper. Daddy and I made it in the paper! It will only be up until December 9 - I think. http://jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/tngallery?Avis=BY&Dato=20061202&Kategori=NEWS&Lopenr=612020802&Ref=PH

I'm Back!

Well, yesterday was an inside day. We were supposed to get lots of snow but instead we got nasty rain with 35 degree temperatures and crazy wind - 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph - whew! I explored all day and found ways to entertain myself. I really like the rocking chair...

At noon our electricity went out and by dinner it was still off and getting chilly. We were getting cold and getting ready to head to our friends', the Gould's, when the electricity finally came back on around 7 pm. For dinner entertainment I feed daddy teddy graham snacks - I had so much fun and daddy didn't complain. Here is our "inside campfire" fun.
Today it was cold and sunny so we headed downtown to see the festivities for Christmas. We rode a horse wagon (I really liked the horses and wanted to touch them but we couldn't - I'll have to wait until I get to Aunt Erin's horses) and walked around with our friends.

Here we are outside a candy shop - boy was the candy good!!
