This is my favorite time of year! And thanks to Grayson I'm never cold! So long are the days of goosebumps and chattering teeth! If Matt and I have a night in, you can pretty much bet there's a fire going, cookies baking, and DVR clearing taking place. And as soon as the clock strikes 9:30 PM, we're all passed out on the couch. Ohhh have times changed.

I ordered our Christmas cards! Now I know people barely glance at them and toss them in a pile with the 923847 other cards they receive (maybe even use them as a nice fire starter), but I'm attached. There's something about sending mail to others that puts a huge smile on my face. Please bare with me the next, eh, 50 years.

Regina Spektor was SO GOOD. It was hilarious to me how much Grayson would move during certain songs and then be completely still during others. Maybe he'll recognize her voice outside the womb! Lord knows I play enough of her :)

So I am having the HARDEST time not shopping for this kid for the fall/winter months next year. Especially when Gap emails me every 5 seconds with all these 30% off deals, and then I go looking for more coupons, and then this happens... 

But really, it could have been so much worse. Who says baby girls are more fun?! Boys can be just as exciting to dress up. Who am I kidding, as soon as baby Gray finds a mirror and understands what I'm doing to him it's going to be graphic tees, cargo shorts, long socks, and white tennis shoes. Oh well, all the more reason to soak it up as long as I can!

We're in the double digits! 95 days until D-Day!!!

We're back from the Babymoon! It was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better time (or weather!). We ate at so many delicious restaurants, shopped till we dropped, and took advantage of the beautiful, quiet beaches. I am so happy we were able to get away before things got insane with the holidays and baby planning, I can't wait to go back next year with baby G!

Unfortunately, the night we came home from Florida we noticed our entire bedroom closet was flooded due to a hot water heater leak in the garage. Definitely the perfect end to a 6 hour drive! So now it sounds like we're blowing up 71 jumpies in our house from all the fans and dehumidifiers. Sounds just like the ocean waves...

I can't believe it's the Christmas season. Now, previous years I get really upset when Thanksgiving gets shafted, but Matt has informed me the season begins November 1st, not Black Friday (what would I do without his Target knowledge?) so I guess I have to suck it up and tis the season and stuff. 3 more weeks of Christmas sounds good to me anyway! Here's to Peppermint Mocha flavored everything and ridiculous doggie collars and sweaters. Sorry Zane ;)

As for a nursery update, the painting is complete, the crib is set up, and the gliding ottoman came in yesterday! I love it, and I can't wait to start using the glider every day. I've been patiently waiting for that arrival, hopefully it'll show up sometime this week so I can glide watching The Big Bang Theory put it in the nursery and dream about holding Grayson in it ;)
