Here is Pete all bundled up on the way to the mall today. Yes, despite the blizzard we ventured out to the mall. I needed to get out of the house and P. needed to stop by work to take care of something. I say "cheese" and he smiles at me. Normally he squeezes his eyes closed but today he wasn't that into it. 
Pete loves the dogs bed. I hate that he does because he comes out of it with his knees all covered in dog hair but it is really cute to see him sitting in it either by himself or with Serra. Abby won't stay if Pete is around. Tonight Serra and Pete were like a Hallmark card. She was looking at him, he was looking at her, you could see the interest and curiosity while they hung out.
The weather here has been ridiculous lately. How do I explain to my family and friends in CA what we go through every day here? I can't. My friends and family told me they were "freezing" this last week in Southern CA. Temps in the 40's! 40's!!!!! What would I give for a day in the 40's. Most days we are lucky to get out of the 20's, lately with windchills we stay in the teens. Here are a couple of pictures of our grocery store parking lot today. With more to come Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we are uncertain of our holiday travels and ready for spring to come.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas this week. We are especially excited about our first Christmas with our son. He has made our life better than I ever could have imagined. Stay tuned for holiday updates and pictures. See ya back here on Christmas day.....Oh, and one more picture of our baby boy pulling himself up on the coffee table to say hi....and find something to play with. (Rachel, do the pajamas in these pictures look familiar? Thank you!!!!)
