SNOW DAY!

Bobby slept through the night for the first time last night! I'm not sure this qualifies as a trend, however. We went to California for five days to celebrate Thanksgiving -- Roger counted that Bobby ate in 10 different restaurants during those five days (that's just the number of different restaurants, not the total Dining Out experiences). He also stayed in two different hotels and met six new family & extended family members, not to mention countless nice folks who couldn't help but say 'hi' to him in restaurants, airplanes and elevators. He did all this while weathering a runny nose, cough and fever AND while hatching two new top teeth. And, after being home for merely five hours, Mom & Dad left him with a baby-sitter while they went to a meeting (actually, while they dialed-in to a meeting from the guest room, because it was too snowy to drive. More on that later).

So needless to say, once he'd gotten into his jammies, had some milk and gotten into his own bed in his own room with his humidifier going, he was ready for some sleep. In fact, he barely woke up long enough to have a little milk at 7:30 this morning before falling asleep again in our bed. Daddy, having stayed up until midnight and gotten up at 4 to finish some work, also needed some sleep this morning. Mom, on the other hand, having slept through the night for the first time in a year (those who have been pregnant know you don't sleep through the night that last month) is feeling great -- I barely even notice the cold that was making me miserable yesterday.

And then we woke up this morning to discover that the whole Puget Sound region is having a snow day!! Both Roger & I have a lot of work we should be doing, but Roger's office is closed and I can't get to mine, and Nanny Jude can't get to us, so we're just staying put.
