Day Care Blues

Sorry fellow readers that I have been off my game the past few weeks. We are all adjusting to me being back to work and it has taken quite a toll. The first two weeks weren't that bad all of us were on autopilot. This past week has been awful. I started to come down with a cold at the beginning of last week. I should have stayed home Tuesday but I was trying to tough it out being that I used all my sick leave while I was on maternity leave. So I continued to get sicker and I would come home after work and have to nap, and poor Nolan wasn't getting enough attention. He became fussier and fussier as I got sicker. Finally I stayed home with him Thursday and we had a relaxing day snuggling and resting up. Friday I was feeling better, so he went back to daycare and was fussy all day long. The poor kid is hardly ever fussy so I checked his mouth because he had been showing signs of teething and he has 4-5 teeth coming in!!! poor little guy. He was such a champ though, he was barely fussy for how much pain he probably in.
We had drill this weekend so my parents came up to babysit Nolan for us. It worked out great they had dinner all ready for us and even did our laundry while we were working! It was fantastic to come home to! My neice Bonnie was here all weekend too, I could see how worn out they both were when they left but they had a blast. I haven't taken any new pictures but I did get them proffessionally done over Christmas.
Here are those. I have yet to order because I want them all.

I will have more exciting things to write about next time.

Uncle Jeff, Baptism and My 1st Christmas!

Uncle Jeff was home for Christmas, and this is their first meeting! Jeff has been at our house quite a bit so they have gotten to spend a lot of time together.

The weekend before Christmas we had Nolan baptised and unfortunatly there was a big snow storm and quite a few people weren't able to make it but it was a very eventful and emotional day for us as parents, being that it was the first BIG event in his life and probably one of the most important. A special thanks to our photographers our friends Mandi and Katie.

Below is us with Nolan's Godparents John and Sara Bayer and our Pastor.Pastor Hans and Nolan presenting him to the church.

Here is the brunch at our house. Too much excitement for these old folks.

Then it was time for Nolans 1st Christmas. Even though he had no idea what was going on it was so much fun, and we had a lot of anticipation thinking about how exciting it will be next year.

This is Nolan opening his 1st Christmas Present and you can tell how excited he is about it.

This time next year both Nolan and Bonnie will be running around causing mayhem.

A few days after Christmas our friend Sona came over, he has been in Germany since Nolan was born so this is their first meeting.

My cuddle bug, I am going to be so sad when he doesn't want to cuddle with mom anymore.

This is us on our way to the Gopher Hockey game, we were all decked out so we thought it was prime family photo opportunity. We never ended up actually going but that is a different story.

It is winding down to the last few days of my maternity leave and I cannot believe that 3 months can go this fast. I am not looking forward to leaving him, but we are hoping that I can be at home within in the next 6 months. So cross your fingers and say a prayer for us that we are able to make it work.
