We made it back in Atlanta yesterday. I'm so happy we left when we did. It was a great day for driving, nothing but sunny skies! The whole week is had been raining in Gulfport and the rain was coming back today. The drive wasn't TOO bad. I had to stop 4 times...mommy potty break, Jacob potty break/feeding time, gas, then Jacob wanted to eat again. Then as we were driving, Georgia decided to get sick and throw up in the front seat. Lovely! Thankfully I have baby wipes all in the car, so it was quick to clean up. Boy, what a drive! Two dogs and a baby is no joke!
So we are here and I'm enjoying a little time to myself while Jacob takes a nap. I mailed all the Christmas boxes off Monday, so I'm sure most of you all have received my gifts or should get them in the next few days. I really hope everyone likes what they got. I tried to be creative and do something a little different this year. I can't say what I did, b/c some of you may not have gotten your gifts yet. But I can say that everything was made by me, mostly with Jacob at my feet or during nap times. It may not be much, but it did take me a little while to make. I wish we could have done more, but Aaron and I are really trying to pay off some debt that our new home has brought us. We have to be a little more frugal (which I love shopping for bargains!), but we will be debt free in the next coming year! That is my new years resolution! I am a firm believer in the secret... :-)
Only a week or so until Christmas! I can't believe it! It doesn't really feel like Christmas since I didn't put up a tree this year. I figured we weren't going to be home too long and plus Aaron wasn't there to help me put it up or take it done. I couldn't handle doing that alone with Jacob. I haven't even gone shopping for little man yet. I didn't want to travel more stuff and since he is still too young to understand, we aren't getting him much. Maybe a few stocking stuffers and some books. He will probably get more enjoyment out of the wrapping paper! I brought a lot of his toys with us here, but he could care less about them. He would rather go into Grandma's kitchen and open all her drawers and find all the good non-baby stuff to get into!
Gotta go for now..having to get some baby proofing things at the store today for Grandma's house. :)
Check back with later this week.. Jacob is going to meet Santa this weekend and get his picture taken for the first time! yay! Hopefully we don't get one of those terrible crying baby pics like you see soo many times. And hopefully for my sake, he doesn't get any nasty germs. All those other kids touching santa...eww gross! I will be a crazy mom and be purelling my kid as soon as he gets done! I'm crazy like that, and plus I don't want him catching any crazy flu or cold!
