Rain, Rain, Go Away

Crissy January 14th, 2006

I am tired of the rain. I am tired of the clouds. I almost wish it would snow instead of rain because my allergies think Spring has arrived. I am stuffy and need some sunlight to perk me up. I am blaming my mood on the weather.

Chris does not have any energy today either. Aiden was up a lot last night and we took turns moving him back into a comfortable sleeping position. He seems to have discovered how to move himself all around the crib. So, needless to say neither one of us had much sleep last night and now we are dragging our butts. Aiden has taken two naps today and is as energetic as an eight month old should be. We are sluggish and tired and wish we could sleep, but the phone and other things keep us from doing so.

Aiden, on the other hand, was in a super-dooper “I want to crawl (and he did for about 5 steps) and play and climb on you and, and, and” mood. He is adorable and we love him and we couldn’t wait for him to go to sleep. We are hoping to rejuvenate after a good night sleep and be ready for him in the morning.

On a sad note, our friend, Jeff Thompson, passed away last night. He died of a heart attack at age 45. This is the first of our friends to pass away and it seems a bit surreal. We are going to take a moment or two to contemplate life and remember him. Jeff, you will be missed.
