Road Trip

I haven't been snowboarding since the winter before I got pregnant with Abby. Which makes it more than three years since I put my board to good use. Being the attentive and loving hubby that MJ is he knew it was time to change that. So for my bday present Abby and MJ booked a cottage for us and the Wolvens in the Bay Harbor area so we could hit Boyne!!! Our friend Tina came along for the ride and we had a great time.

Paul and I got out for our first run around 12 (after an equipment issue--thanks Boyne repair shop for the help) and I must say it is just like riding a bike!! Paul did a great job for his second time in SEVEN years ( I thought it had been a long time since I was last out...). Sadly Paul had to call it a day so he could head home to Haley who got the flu. I went back to the cottage w/ him for a bite to eat.

After lunch Abby decided she wanted to be a snowbunny...



Too cute if you ask me! After a little lunch I was back on the slopes :) I had a great time and hope to make it back out at least one more time this year!

We're on our way home right now and Abby is rather tuckered out after a weekend of playing with Tina, here she is napping in her carseat:

I Love Sleep

So, I have to confess...I slept until 11:30 this morning after going to bed at about 11 the night before. Yes, I spent 11 and 1/2 hours in bed (minus the 3:30 trek to Miss Abby's room to close her window b/c it was getting a bit too cold and the walk to the alarm clock at 6 to turn it off...). When Abby woke at 7 am I had MJ go get her and we snuggled/wrestled til 8 when MJ took her downstairs for breakfast and such. They came back around 8:45 (I think) and MJ showered and got ready for a visit with his friend who recently had a baby while Abby and I snuggled/played. When they left I told myself that I should get up, but I dozed off again until the phone rang at 11:29. Yikes!

At first I felt guilty for sleeping the morning away....

Then I chuckled. I thought to myself: I deserve this! I work hard, everyday, at being a good mommy and wife and seldom do for myself. MJ tells me all the time to stop being so hard on myself (especially over silly things like this)... Who cares if I slept til noon? Just then, MJ called and said they were on their way home.

Funny how that happens. So up I jumped. And after a trip to the bathroom to put my contacts in (and the obvious...I just spent 11 1/2 hours in bed people...), in went a load of laundry, I picked up a few things before heading downstairs and yes it all began again...

Bed Time

For me!

I am headed off to bed this very moment because I deserve more than 4 consecutive hours of sleep for a change!!! Abby is fighting yet another cold and a case of the snarphs (if you are keeping count this is number, um, 4 or 5--I've lost count myself!!) which means she is coughing like a banshee and not sleeping well. Last night we were up from 1 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. at first due to the cough, then she decided that it was time to eat and play--not cool.



Anyway, I put Abby down at 7:30 and now I am headed to bed...lets hope she sleeps till at least 4!!!!!
