Last few weeks

We've had a busy few weeks. Last week, we had snow...not regular NC sprinkle snow, but like 6 inches!! Of course there was no work or daycare for 2 days, so we bundled up the boys and hit the slopes, uh, I mean, our back yard. They LOVED sledding! The 2nd day was even better bc the snow had packed down and was a little more wet, so they could go faster and further. Cooper enjoyed himself until snow got under his gloves and then he was miserable, so his snow adventure wasn't as long lived.

Of course, now all three boys are sick. I swear I bundled them up! Cooper has a double ear infection (again!) and James and Nathanael woke up about 2:00 this morning coughing, sneezing, etc. I ended up sleeping with James in the reecliner because he couldn't breathe. Thank the lord for my in-laws. They kept them today, I really couldn't miss work.

And, James turned 4 and Nathanael turned 3!! We just had the family over for dinner, cake and ice cream. Of course for the boys, cake was the whole point.

I think Cooper liked the cake the best!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!

The adoption decree was signed and sealed by the judge on January 12, 2009!!!!!!!
James Conrad, Nathanael Reid and Cooper Dawson are and alwyas will be a part of the Moss family!!!!

LUCK

I guess you can call it that. Our house has been on the market less than 4 weeks. One person looked at it, and made an offer we accepted. How crazy is that! We expected it to take at least a year! We so totally have not found a house we like...we're probably going to rent somewhere. We definately don't want to settle on a house. We love our current house, just moving so we'll be in a school district closer to work/church/Ken's parents. Right now we are over the county line, which would mean lots of inconvenience once the boys start school. So, the mad house hunt begins. James wanted to know how we were going to take the pond with us. Oh, to be a kid again!

Catch Up

Christmas was a whirlwind! The boys had a great time from beginning to end, with both sets of grandparents, bikes from Santa and chocolate to their hearts delight!

But really, I have to blog about our social butterfly Nathanael, who talks to anyone he sees. He usually starts with 'what's your name?' Normal. But oh no...he came out with a whopper in the line at the grocery store yesturday. Cooper was sitting in the seat facing me, and James and Nathanael were sitting in the "car" at the front of the cart, facing forward. In the line next to us was a teenage boy bagging groceries. And Nathanael looks at him directly in the eye and clear as a bell asks "Why you got worms on yo head?" How could I not bust out laughing!!! Luckily, the guy took it in good humor and just told him it was his hair (dreadlocks), not worms.
