What We Have Been Up To

Well, we brought in the new year with style. Daneen and I stayed up late playing guitar hero!!!!! Now that I convinced Daneen we needed another guitar, we have been wasting a lot of quality time together (after Carson goes to bed of course)!

Carson is finally getting better. We took him to the doctor a few days before New Year's and he ended up having an ear infection. We got some antibiotics for him, the yummy pink stuff that he actually likes, and he is pretty much running on all cylinders now.

He was suppose to go back to school on the 2nd but when I was getting into bed on New Year's Night I looked outside and we had like half an inch to an inch of snow on the ground! And for anyone who is not familiar with the south, if there is so much as a trace of snow, school is canceled and good luck trying to buy any bread or milk at the grocery store! I dragged myself to work that day while Carson got to stay home with mom for one more day......so we thought. They ended up canceling school on the 3rd and the 4th too. Kind of weird if you ask me. Carson doesn't even really like the snow. He and Daneen went outside for like 5 minutes the first day school was canceled and he said "I wanna go back inside now. My cheeks are cold". It actually did get pretty cold here for a couple of days. We got down to single digits a couple nights in a row. I told my mom how cold it was here on New Year's and she just said "wow. It's been cold here to at night. I think it got down to -20 a couple times". Thanks for the simpathy mom. :)



Carson has been real excited about building stuff with the legos he got for Christmas. Last Sunday after church we got to sit down and start building. Here are a couple of his first builds. I admit, I probably had more fun playing with the legos than he did. What can I say, Daneen is right she says she has two kids to deal with.....



And finally, here is something else that Daneen and I have been doing in our spare time:




As you can tell, we don't get out much. Since Grandma Cuca was here with us we have been addicted to putting puzzles together. Weird right? We enjoy it, and I think it is very relaxing myself (except for when you check a puzzle out from the library and it is missing pieces!!!!!). Not too sure if this is going to become a full blown hobby or just a faze we are going through. Hope it's not a sign of old age.....
