Sick. We all seem to be psasing it back and forth. Brynn had another ear infection a few weeks ago...and Dan got a nasty cold that he so generously passed on to me. I haven't felt this crummy in a long time, and am hoping Brynn doesn't get it.
We also have had a huge change, which is one reason it has been so long since I last updated. We have moved. We had a potential tenant walk through our house, she loved it, but needed to be in by December 15th! We didn't think we would be out before Christmas... so we had a tree and had decorated... and had about 9 days to be packed and moved out!! Talk about stressful! We somehow managed to do it, while working full time and chasing around an 11 month old. We are now all settled in at Dan's dads. I know in earlier posts I had mentioned moving in with my Grandma, but we decided that this is a much better option for us for now-- especially with an almost 1 year old. Grandma's house still has so much work, and there is so much for Brynn to get in to. All of my grandma's knitting baskets, plants, and nic-naks she has set up all over. Definitly not baby friendly. Not to mention the space... not a whole lot of room for all of us and our stuff. At Nick's, we have 1500 sq feet to fill up-- we are able to use all of our furniture, and our room and closet are like twice the size they were. We are pretty comfortable for now... and in a few months we will begin looking seriously for houses! :o)
Now Christmas! I took Brynn to see Santa at Macy's on Friday. She LOVED him. No tears, just a lot of intense looks. The line was long, but well worth the wait!
Our family is so blessed! We had good food, family time, and a great first Christmas for Brynnie Boo. She is near impossible to bring to church... she doesn't want to just be held. She wants to go, go, go. On Christmas Eve Dan and I took turns taking her out and letting her crawl around. She sure was a ball full of energy. Christmas Day she had so much fun with Dan's cousin Berit. She played with Brynn pretty much the whole day, which was nice for me to have a little break :) Dan's Aunt and Uncle live on White Bear Lake, so we also brought our skates over because the lake is like glass! It was so nice.
Dan had Monday, Tuesday, and today off of work, which has been nice to spend time together. We went to the Mall of America yesterday-- it was so crazy. Today we are just going to putz around here, do laundry, clean, and make spaghetti for dinner. I am going to try and enjoy the little bit of time left that I have home with Brynn before I head back to work. After New Year's, I am going to seriously really hit my capstone hard. I am all registered and want to be done by time next school year begins so I get a nice little bump in pay :)
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! I will leave you with some video!
