Well, it's been quite a while. I have been telling myself I need to blog, but it seems I get too tired at night to do it! :) Mom told me today that she noticed I haven't updated my blog in a while, so I decided to update everyone on what has been going on!
A couple of weekends ago, I went to Canton with some girls with the Mommy and Me group. We had a wonderful time! We stayed at a house in Ben Wheeler, which is about 10 miles from Canton. I really enjoyed spending time with the ladies and of course shopping. River stayed with Nick the night I was gone. This was Nick's first night to keep River by himself. They did great and I knew they would. Nick is such a wonderful daddy and River loves him so much!
Nick and I took our annual trip to College Station last week. Every year since we have been in Teague, Nick has gone to a 2 day conference there and I go with him to do my Christmas shopping. This year River came with us. I was a little nervous about taking him shopping for 2 days. We didn't end up leaving quite as early as we had planned on Monday, so the shopping on Monday was only a few hours. River loves to watch people and ride in his stroller, so the shopping ended up going great. Before we left for the trip, I made a very detailed Christmas list to be sure I knew who I had left to buy for. Then, I made a list of where I needed to go and who I was shopping for. I got everything done while we were there! Nick couldn't believe how efficient I was! ha!
We had Christmas 1 of 7 last weekend at Granny's. It was a wonderful time of eating and enjoying each other. We gave Granny a canvas picture of the whole family. She loved it! She was so happy to have such a good picture of her whole family. I admire my Granny so much. She is so loving and sweet all the time. She has been through so much in her life, but she never complains. She has taught me alot about what it means to be a Christian and to trust in Him. She has set such a wonderful example for us all to follow. I love her!
This week, Rachel and Benjamin, are in New York for vacation. They have been looking forward to this trip for a long time! Mom and Dad are keeping River while I work this week. He spent Sunday night with them and then he will spend tomorrow night with them. This is the first week that he has stayed away 2 nights. I am so glad he gets to spend time with family, but I do miss him when he's gone. River is so blessed to have 2 sets of grandparents that love him soooooo much. They love to keep him and spend time with him.

River also met Santa for the first time. At first, it was great! River was smiling and Rachel got some great pictures. Then Santa spoke! River stared up at him for about 30 seconds and then starting crying! That was his first time to cry with someone he didn't know. I felt so sorry for him, but Rachel did get some good pictures.
River has also started sleeping on his tummy with his knees tucked under him and and his bottom in the air. So cute!
