Why I Hate Snow
1) It tripled my commute time and I hate to drive in NORMAL conditions, so driving in crappy conditions makes me crabby.
2) It is cold. Enough said.
3) Kona can't get exercise after a long day in her kennel and is whiny and therefore irritating me a bit.
and most importantly...
4) Due to the crappy road conditions, it is taking Chris FOREVER to pick Callie up and get home and I've hardly seen her this week. I've been sick and I had to work til 8pm on both Tuesday and Thursday. I need to start the weekend with my baby pronto!
STUPID SNOW!
Okay I'm done complaining. Hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend! Here's a picture just for the heck of it:

Our Blog Readers...
...are awesome! I often get comments or emails about various blog posts that are so supportive and wonderful.
Case in point: my fantastic chiropractor Leslie emailed me today after reading the frustration in my post from last night and offered to take a look at Callie to see if there was anything going on with her neck or back. So Chris was able to take her in today for a little treatment, free of charge. Thanks so much Leslie! :)
I'm thankful that we have such wonderful family and friends that care enough to read my ramblings and look at the pictures and videos. Callie Joy is one lucky and well loved baby!
But when you look like this, how can you not be?
Hee hee.
So thanks to everyone who stops by and makes our little Punkin Head part of your day!

Epic Failure...okay...Success
I guess I'll start by saying Chris just left with Callie to drive around in hopes that she falls asleep. It is 6:15, she's about 2 hours behind her afternoon nap schedule, and we've turned into THOSE parents. The ones who have to resort to other people's tricks because we've exhausted all of our own.
After nap attempt #1 (5:00 or so) we thought we could just forgo the afternoon nap time and shoot for an early bed time. So we took her out of the crib after 20 minutes of blood curdling screaming, standing up in the crib, and no end in sight.
We brought her back downstairs and, after quiet time reading a book with Daddy, the utterly ridiculous crabbiness began again which signaled that nap time was seriously necessary.
So, to make a long story short, another 20 minutes of bloodcurdling screaming, standing up in the crib, and no end in sight, Chris is now driving around hoping for nap time victory.
But even if she falls asleep in the car, it still feels like an epic failure. And hoping it isn't the start of a new phase (I have a sinking feeling it is because we had 2 nap battles yesterday, though they were more successful).
It may be teething too, who knows. She's been holding steady with two teeth for like 6 months now. The others have GOT to be popping through sometime, right?
Regardless, all I know is I just need to focus on this silly scrunchy face...
...and remember how amazingly blessed we are...naughty napper and all!
****Update**** It is 6:45 and the car ride worked. Baby is sleeping peacefully in Daddy's arms, snowsuit and all.
I guess I shouldn't be so judgmental about using other people's tricks.

Videos
I haven't posted many Callie videos lately, but of course I've been taking them, so here's a post with videos from the past couple weeks.
She's so smart she knows where her socks and shoes go:
Auntie Laura taught her to kick while wearing her ballet shirt:
You have to watch out when there's a baby in a walker zooming around:
So much going on at lunch:
Patty-Cake is our favorite (though the face she makes at the end of the video would suggest otherwise):
Waving to everyone and anyone (and sometimes no one) is fun...especially to Kona:
Have a great Monday!

Busy Long Weekend = Super Long Post!
We've had a busy and wonderful couple of days. Thanksgiving was BUSY, beginning with a CHILLY 5K run, meal #1 with the Henderson's at the condo, 2nd meal with the Gosselin's at Dan's house, and dessert with the extended Gosselin family at Aunt Jeannie's! Here are some pictures from the day:
Friday was spent back at the condo with Grandma Henderson...and Callie and Kona discovered their love for the sunny hallway:
Last night we got to meet Sydney Marie! She was so little, so cute, and so sleepy! It is amazing how quickly you forget about life with a newborn. It was fun to get a refresher, but also fun to see Callie now and watch her interact with the baby. It is also amazing to see the difference than 11 months and 1 day makes! :)
And finally, a pic from dinner tonight:
