The weather outside is frightful.

I guess it could be worse. It's not like we're stranded in a blizzard or anything, but it is a lot cooler than I like it to be. Ask me in July and I'll tell you it's too hot. I'm just difficult that way. I can't believe Christmas is only two days away. I have never been less prepared than I am this year. We finally finished our Christmas shopping this weekend. If I bought something for you, I hope you enjoy it. I'd like to tell you that I put a lot of thought into it, but my mind seems to be other places these days. We also managed very little in the way of decorating this year. I'm OK with it. My friend Christina had a baby last week. It was a healthy baby girl. She was seven pounds and probably some ounces and some other numbers that don't mean anything to me. Maybe next year they will. Anyway, we got to visit with them in the hospital and hold the new baby. I am quite sure that I'm going to be an expert at this baby thing. Already I have gotten more advice than we ever did while building a house. I'm just glad I know so many smart people. My parents (the smartest people of all) will be here tomorrow night, as well as my sister. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and having a house full. Happy Holidays, blog readers! I will be back in a few days to tell you about all of the great stuff that I got.

Aliens!

I meant to post this a week ago, but this time of year there just isn't enough hours in the day. Tiffany's first appointment with the doctor went fine. Apparently everything is normal and healthy so far. Personally I think these sonogram pictures are scary. Tiffany is starting to get over the nausea (mostly), but she is still pretty tired. This morning we got out and ran a few errands. I think we may hit the mall this afternoon for a few last minute gifts. I can't believe December is halfway over. We are going to a Christmas party tonight. Don't worry--I will keep Tiffany away from the bar.
