This will be a short one...
I am SOOO EXCITED!!!  This Friday I will be picking Jerry up at the airport and we get to spend 2 days together...without kids!  It will be very nice to have him back!
Thank you to everyone for your kind words during Jerry's time in Alabama.

Tree Hunt

Last Thursday the boys and I ventured out to pick out our Christmas tree.  We went to a tree farm about 40 minutes from our home.  When we got there Nathan had begun to doze and expressed a strong desire to go home.  He changed his attitude and got into the fun after we wandered through the trees for a bit though.

                
It was sweet to watch them look at how big the trees were and try to find the one that would look good in our home.  When we lived in Montana we would pay a $5 fee and go cut down our own tree.  This is obviously a different experience (and much warmer), but fun none the less.

6 Weeks Down

The end of this adventure is in sight!  In 1 1/5 weeks I will have my husband in my arms once again!  Hooray!! 
Jerry flies back to California on the 10th.  I feel a little bad though because the boys won't see him until the 12th.  My dad and step mom are going to watch the boys for us so that we can have a couple days to ourselves.  Nathan thinks that I am going on a girls weekend.  I feel like this little white lie is alright because obviously if he knew that I was with his daddy he would be quite upset.  I've never been away from the boys for longer than 1 day, and they were with Jerry then.
We've been doing some Christmas decorating in our home the past couple days.  Every time Griffin sees a picture of Santa he says, "Ho, Ho, Ho."  Nathan is really enjoying listening to Christmas music and learning the words.  With every new song he asks what it is called and who sings it.  He definitely has his favorites; Rudolph, Frosty, Jingle Bells, and The Little Drummer Boy at this point.  I think that we may go get a tree this Friday.  I would like to have the house all put together for Jerry's return.  I'm just a little nervous about putting the stand on it by myself.  Hopefully mommy doesn't end up under the tree!  I'm also wondering if this year we will need to have the ornaments starting about 3 feet up.  Griffin is so curious and loves to move things and take things apart.  We will probably hang the homemade ornaments down low.
