I’m very glad I impulsively bought Erik a pair of snow overalls. I just wish I would have had the same impulse to get him a pair of snow boots. We had about six inches of snow on Saturday, so the boy had a wonderful time doing little boy stuff out in the snow. It was so wet that the sled wouldn’t even go down the hill, so Mike had to hold the handle and run down the hill to make it go. What a good dad.<\/p>\n

Today he had better success and even kept his feet warm with a pair of forgotten rain boots. I need to get on the ball and get some snow boots so he can play outside while we are in Sweden. It will be a long week of being cooped up on the farm, I think. We least we get a day to explore Gothenburg.<\/p>\n

I dug out a bunch more Christmas stuff today and was thrilled to find enough Christmas cards to last at least two years. Now I just need to get some mailing labels and we can get started on that giant project. I’m really surprised we haven’t gotten any cards yet. I bet a lot of people don’t have our new address (if you are on LJ and want our new address check HERE<\/a> If you aren’t on LJ, you’ll have to give me a comment. I doubt very many of our family members have the new address, so I guess they just find out once we get our cards sent out. I should have done the “We have a new address!” card thing that fancy people do, but I’m not fancy.<\/p>\n

I also pulled out the fabric Christmas bags and was very happy to be able to get some presents under the tree! Those fabric bags are genius! Thank you Mommy\/Prof<\/a> for the idea. I’m going to have to sew a few more since last year’s bags were kind of specifically constructed for those gifts. I can re-use them, but I will also need some to fit this year’s bigger presents.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of Christmas, I’ve decided to give my mom a gift. She is super pissed that we aren’t telling the baby name. She made a deal with herself that if she didn’t bug us with a bunch of nonsense names, we would tell her the name. Problem? She didn’t clear this deal with us. <\/p>\n

She has been very good and hasn’t told us a single name. With Erik it was a constant onslaught of Coyote, Stetson, Wolf, Zane, Zeke and just other stuff that wasn’t to our taste. It was so irritating that I told her if we ever had another baby I wasn’t even going to tell her if it was a boy or a girl. Since we were able to hold our tongue about Erik’s name so well I think she believed that we’d be able to hold our tongue about the gender. Of course, this was before Facebook when we actually shared our secrets online in a semi-public place.<\/p>\n

Since she’s been so good, I’ve decided I’ll give her some clues about the name, then her big Christmas present will be the name. I just wrote a little clue note, listing the top 10 names and telling her it was on the list. Next week I’m going to tell her the initials. I am working on her yearly photo book right now and have included the name in a caption. If she actually reads any of the captions she’ll learn the name. I’m fairly certain she doesn’t read the captions, at least on the first go around.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I will be able to keep the name a secret on here until April, either. I am sort of having second thoughts about the name anyway, so who knows what it will actually be. We were fairly set on David for Erik for awhile until I decided I really disliked the name. I’m a fickle soul.<\/p>\n

Fa la la la la! I can’t think of any thing else to write. My mind is too wrapped up in Harry Potter. I’m on book 2 right now and have also been watching the movies this weekend. What a difference in the quality from film 1 to 3! Also, that Twilight dude looks WAY better in these movies. That pale look is just not sexy. And did the giantess just EAT something out of Hagrid’s beard? I’m going to barf!<\/p>\n

I think it’s time to wrap this up. The end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
