Weekend update

My mom took Isaiah to my sister's house for Karis's first birthday party. When they left, Sam was sobbing and saying, "Go! Go! Go!" because he wanted to go so badly.

But we had a fun weekend giving Sam lots of attention. He got to play with whatever toys he wanted to, without having to compete with Isaiah. We colored, put puzzles together, played with the Veggie pirate ship, built blocks, read stories, etc. Last night we went out to dinner, and Sam sat pretty nicely the whole time. He didn't get all fussy and antsy like he usually does when Isaiah is there.

Because of freezing rain and ice-covered roads, church was cancelled this morning. We also didn't have electricity because a car had hit a pole. Sam didn't even mind how cold the house was getting this morning. He just kept playing around the house, happy as could be.

We left for the mall around 11:45 just to hang out somewhere warm and get some lunch. By the time we got home from the mall, our power was back! That is a major relief. When our power goes out, we never know if it will be a few minutes, or a few days!

My mom decided to wait until tomorrow to drive back from Katherine's because the snow/freezing rain caused a lot of accidents on I-80. So hopefully I'll get to see Isaiah before I have to leave for my concert...

Tomorrow night is my last concert! Woohoo! Then I can work on some Christmas stuff, like setting up the tree, taking our Christmas pictures, sending cards, etc.
