baby j in his pj's

We've had a pretty good weekend and DID make it to church this morning. Woohoo! Unfortunately, Jonah gushed everywhere on the way home (he had several gushers on Friday too...???), but other than that the day has gone smoothly. He's been in a great mood despite not napping. I spent three hours this afternoon decorating the front porch while Matt kept Jonah inside (it was super cold here today), watched football, and did the mountains of laundry we had sitting in our closet. The porch looks great, but I literally could not feel my big toes by the time it was all over. And don't even get me started on lights brand new out of the box that are half burnt out. Talk about the temptation to cuss - below freezing temperatures, wrestling with garland, untangling lights, burnt out bulbs. It doesn't exactly inspire you to call on your inner holiday spirit... or the Holy Spirit, for that matter. Grrr.

I will have some photos coming of our decorations and Jonah hanging the very first ornament, but I want to put my house back together before I take the rest.

Please bear with me if I don't post as much this week. I'm feeling completely overwhelmed with straightening and better organizing my house, addressing and stamping Christmas cards, finishing my shopping, and uploading and printing photos of Jonah for family. And did I mention that Jonah doesn't nap? :) Blogging may just have to fall through the cracks until the craziness dies down a little.

Here are some pics from before bedtime tonight.
