Who me?

This morning when we woke up, we were looking at Hudson's new Cars book with a slide camcorder thing that came with it. It projects pictures on the wall from the stories in the book. There was a picture of Doc Hudson. So I told Hudson to say Doc Hudson. I said, "Say Doc" and he says "Doc." Then I said, "Say Hudson." He says "ME!!"

Merry Christmas (just a little late)

Hope you all had a great Christmas! We had a blast in Mississippi and Tennessee. Now, we are enjoying the warm 75ish weather in Texas. I needed a break from the cold that is for sure! We are having a great time and hope you are too! There will definitely be more posts with pictures coming....

Halfway done!!

So I really couldn't help posting about Mike being halfway done with law school. He finished up his last final of the semester today. YAY! I am so excited! Other than that, blog worthy things have been at an all time low lately. Seriously, can you tell? Mike, Hudson and I have had the whole cold/sore throat thing going around so we haven't been a whole lot of fun lately. But we are all starting to feel better so hopefully things will change. I feel fun things coming our way with the Christmas vacation officially being kicked off today with a very much needed family nap. That might not sound like "fun" things but when you are as tired as we all were, it was very much needed at least! Oh, and I still haven't taken pictures of our stockings I made at the beginning of November so maybe I can get those posted. So now I am rambling. Mike, we are so proud of you! Way to stick it out and still take unbelievably great care of us! You are halfway done!! Congrats!

Snow, Snow, Snow

It is snowing!! We were under a winter advisory watch last night so I kept checking out the window during my nightly trips to the bathroom...but no snow! I was kind of sad for some reason. I don't really even like snow or cold weather so I don't know why I wanted it to snow. But I guess it just helps with the holiday season.

Huds and I have had a few lazy days at home trying not to be too bothersome to Mike while he gets ready for finals. Unfortunately, I think I am having a hard time not bugging him so I hope he still does well this semester! He starts finals today and will finish up next Wednesday with his last one. Good luck Mike!! I think I might actually be more excited for them to be over than he is. I am so sick of them already!

Still not feeling that great and to be honest, none of the meds are working that well this time. The days are easier to manage than the nights which means I pretty much just lay on the couch the whole time Mike is here. He is so good to take care of everything for me. I couldn't do it without him!

Hudson is in such a climbing mode. He is always on the couch and anything else he can climb on. Yesterday I came downstairs to him being on the arm of the couch after he dumped over a glass of water he was trying to get to. Not too happy about that one. I had to move the end table and dry all the toys and everything else off. What a stinker! It is fun to watch him explore things though. He is still obsessed with the moon and always yells out moon. He wants to go see it all day long. He also got at least one of his bottom pointer teeth in so that has made his life and ours a lot sweeter! He was having a few rough nights sleeping so it is nice to be back to normal.

Oh, and thank you for all of the comments on the last post. We are so excited to have another baby!

WAHHOOOO!!!

I was going to wait to announce it but since I have been MIA lately, I didn't want people to get the wrong impression or think I was a bad friend. Just been feeling rather GREEN....here is to hoping it passes quickly!

What a guy!

Today it is a good thing I love my little guy:

• He has been testing out our toothpaste today by eating it.
• He dumped a full glass of water all over a bunch of stuff in my bedroom (of course, it ruined a few magazines and made me dump a bunch of stuff off the dresser in the process of cleaning up too!) and then walked around with wet socks to make sure he got the whole room covered in little wet footprints.
• My front room is a mess with toys, books and random scraps of paper all over it courtesy of Hud-man.
• In the time it took me to type this, he managed to find pretty much every bottle I had packed away and is carrying them all around the house.
  

This has just been the last hour or so....gotta love being a mom!

25 Days til Christmas

I cannot believe that we are already on the countdown for Christmas! 25 days left??!! I kept thinking oh, I have a few weeks left before I need to even worry about gifts. And now I am thinking...ah, I have to mail them soon or they won't make it in time!! (Well maybe I still have a few more days but for a non-procrastinator type like myself it feels like crunch time!)

I am so excited for Christmas this year. I know Hudson will be even more fun than he was last year. I can't wait to see him open all of his gifts!

Anyway, last year I told Mike I thought we should start some sort of tradition of something special we do for either the 25 day countdown or the 12 days of Christmas countdown. I guess I better get on it if I am going to do 25 days. Any special traditions you have?? I always love to hear fun new tradition ideas.

Oh, and we are also on the countdown for the end of the semester...which means we will be officially half-way done with law school. It is exciting and sad all at the same time!
