Frost, really?

There was frost on my car this morning even after the sun had come up, yup, you heard correctly- frost. Not that I actually had to scrape it off and drive anywhere this frigid morning but my dear hubby did and for this I felt bad. I live in Florida folks and although I have been complaining about it being too hot for say the last 9 months (give or take) this is ridiculous! I would understand if I was in Canada- it’s a given there or even if I was in Hattiesburg- it’s further up North and it snows there every once in a while but we are in Florida where we have palm trees, beaches and the sun always shines. I, me my pregnant self and I, have had the heat on in the house the last few days, have been wearing numerous layers of clothing including socks and slippers and have been consuming warm beverages- what does this tell you? It tells you that with my size right now I probably resemble the Michelin Man and that baby it’s cold outside…

    Christmas Tree hunting

    Since I am about to take down all of my Christmas decorations (it’s on the list for this week) which means giving the old “heave ho” to the tree I thought that I should post some of the pictures that we took while getting it and putting it up. It was SUCH a great day, I had so much fun spending it with Jamie.

    and the winner is…

    this one!

    both of us with our tree :-)
    We pick up three trees (at least) every year and deliver them to various family members including my in-laws. This was our stop at their house to trim all of the trees and drop theirs off.

    Jamie’s Dad- scary Chainsaw Man
    lights, camera, action

    decorating with ribbon- not a flattering angle but you can kind of see the bump

    one of our super cute helpers
    last but not least the ornaments and yes my favorite is the tinfoil cup one with Jamie’s young picture on it- I put it front and center at the top of the tree!!

      Goodbye 2009, Goodbye Feet…

      I blinked and January happened; 2009 in all of it’s glory has passed me by along with the ability to see my feet. Yes, I am sure that this happened a while ago when I was not paying any attention however, just a few days ago I looked down and my toes were gone! I found this terribly amusing when it happened, why I am not really sure…

      Honestly though, 2009 has been such a great year and I am sad to see it go. Jamie and I have been blessed in so many ways this past year with the ability to travel, to spend time with dear friends and family and with the little boy that is about to join our family. We are both looking forward to 2010 and everything thing that it will bring :-)
      stay tuned for some catch up pictures… I only have a few dozen or so that need to be posted.
