we went to mom and dad's on christmas day for a ham dinner with grandma krisher and grandma and grandpa pheifer... it was SO good! cole enjoyed playing with grandma's utensil drawer, of course, but now he shows a little more control. instead of taking them ALL out and throwing them on the floor, he takes out one (sometimes two or three) and shuts the drawer. he's learning!
mom and dad had gotten this little chair at an auction a few months before cole was born... now he's big enough to use it! he looked so proud to be sitting in a chair just his size, with his (rubber scraper) scepter! i honestly have no idea where his obsession with kitchen utensils comes from...
cole and daddy yesterday afternoon... awww! we ended up staying overnight at mom and dad's, and got to spend some time with ted and his girlfriend, ellie. cole took to ellie rather quickly... a real ladies man. uh-oh.
this is what happened on the way home last night. dumb deer. it was pretty unavoidable, really. the thing kind of ran into us. there were two deer; one was in the other lane already and just sort of stood there and watched his buddy get schmucked. what a sweet friend, huh? we weren't going that fast since it was pretty foggy, so none of us got hurt, thankfully.
poor van... :( anyway, other than that, we had a pretty relaxing two days. i did spend the better part of thursday afternoon timing contractions (they were about 2 minutes apart, occassionally as far apart as 10 minutes), but nothing really came of it. obviously! maybe today...?? kelvin's gone to ted's place for a gun-cleaning session with him and dad, and they were talking about heading down to the cabela's store. i told him to have fun, just make sure that he's free to leave on a moment's notice, should the need arise. as for me, i'm hanging with the wild-child and making sure that there is enough clean laundry and that the house is in order. just in case. everything we do now is "just in case", it seems. baby girl is pretty still... she's moving enough that i know she's ok, but that past two days or so, she's been fairly quiet. i've decided that i'm going to live in my pj's until the big day, that way i don't have to worry about not having enough clean laundry. not really... just that my pj's are about the only thing that fit comfortably these days! finally, i finished a prototype for an adjustable pouch-style baby sling (see previous post). i'm hoping there'll be enough interest that i can make and sell them; maybe patent it? anyway, i'm still looking for a volunteer or two to "test" one... or if anyone wants a made-to-fit one, let me know, i'd be more than happy to have something to do, other than sit and wait!!

I'll test out your sling...
Don't you hate deer? I was frustrated to hit another deer last week.
