Winter is here!

Well well well. Things here are about the same. Romeo is happy, healthy and tiny. He is such a good boy. He no longer likes to be rocked to sleep. Every night around 9:30pm I lay him in his crib and without a peep he goes to sleep on his own! He is getting very social and smily with strangers, definitely a flirt. He still doesn't like to be held by others but doesn't seem to be traumatized by it like before. Oh! And he's got a tooth halfway out on the bottom it is tooo cute.

We got our basement walls (the old 1800's stone) insulated with foam so they are now all white but still in rock shape. It is so much warmer down there! Everything feels really solid. Wood stove is a burnin, Christmas tree is up and everything is so cozy :)

Romeo's winter coat that mom bought was too big (baby boy isn't quite as long as we had anticipated) so I went and exchanged it today for one that has Bear ears. SO cute... It is so warm too!

In later news, I applied to Oakland University and am going to do their accelerated Nursing program!! Details to come but it's going to take me about a year and a half and I'm going to start either next month or in the Spring. I will not seal my fate in making $10 an hour forever...so Nursing it is! I'm very excited but I hope going to school won't take too much time away from being with Romeo. I looove being with him all day :)

Bear is slow at work so we are enjoying being home as a family in our wonderful, cozy home :) Excited to be with the WHOLE family for Christmas time very, very soon!

I am looking forward to visiting (how about this Sunday) and seeing your house and the STAR attraction. I vote this spring to start nursing. I will be more available to watch my grandson up close and personal for you...
