Gearing up for the Holidays
Tues. night we decorated our new place for Christmas. We still don't have a tree, but we did the rest of the decorating. The boys went outside and put lights up on the bushes. They loved it!
Then we sat and watched a Charlie Brown Christmas. Which, is a Christmas Tradition in itself. I was so happy and surprised to see ABC airing a show that quotes scripture! I mean, it seems like that's the last thing network television would put on. I'm glad for it. I think we all could use a reminder of the real meaning of Christmas. That being said, Ben asked me this morning where his presents were. His thinking, we put up the Christmas decorations, so where's the presents? Uh, we might have a little bit of work to go! But who am I kidding, presents are a GREAT part of Christmas.
Speaking of presents...I am so excited about what my parents are getting for me this year. Not too long ago, I was looking at a breastfeeding blog and I saw there was something called "album" on it. It contained pics that ladies sent in of themselves breastfeeding their babies. They were so cool. Now, I would NEVER post a pic of myself breastfeeding my baby on the internet. However, it got me thinking...It would be nice to have a pic of the baby and I. You, know, just one for my bedroom for nostalgic reasons.
In the town I grew up in, there is a wonderful photographer, Edda Taylor.
When I was in high school she did my senior pictures. I thought it would be wonderful to have her do a mommy and baby picture. My mom is always asking for ideas this time of year. So, on the 19th in the morning, the baby and I are having our photo session. Then later that afternoon we will have one with all 5 of us- not nursing! I am so excited! I'll let you know how it turns out!
