Let it Snow!

Okay, even though it will say that I posted this at like 9:00pm, it is really almost midnight here in south-central Kentucky... where we are preparing ourselves for what could turn out to be around 8 inches of snow. I realize to some this may not sound like that much but, we haven't had a snow that deep for AT LEAST 12 to 15 years. In preparation my husband, Ryan, and I went to the grocery. It took nearly 2 hours. Need I say more? Of course, we knew it would be bad but, we weren't scared of being snowed in, we just had NO FOOD in our house. We also loaded up on firewood because we have a fireplace in our family room and... In this type of weather/cold temperatures, we sleep in front of the fireplace. We pull our sectional couches together and make them face each other to create a bed. Ryan, Knox, Sadie, and I adventure sleep on our couch-bed, which we have dubbed, "Cozy-Hole". Ridiculous. I know. I don't mind because it is warm and cozy and snuggly and I love it. Hopefully, I will have some awesome pictures to post of our snow... and if not, well then, I guess I'll expose the world to "Cozy-Hole"!

Never say Never...

I have done something I said I would never do. I have entered my child into a cute baby contest... I have said since his birth that I didn't need someone else to tell me that my baby was cute - because I know he is perfect. But, I did it. I entered him into a picture contest. This will be the least damaging to his self-esteem... Who am I kidding? My self-esteem. The prize is $250, which isn't a lot but, will buy several cases of diapers and formula.

So this is the picture I entered... Entitled "Deep Thoughts by Knox"



Next, I have a blogging friend who uses Wednesdays to post pictures - She calls it Wordless Wednesday. This may be something that all bloggers do but, as I said before, this is all Greek to me! So with that being said, although this post DOES have words, I want to post a couple of pictures that were taken while I blogged last night.

The Loss of my Blogging "Virginity"

So, as a newcomer to the blogging scene, I haven't the first idea where to begin... Honestly, there are too many places for me to start. I guess I could tell you about me, but as this blog takes on a life you will learn enough - quite possibly more than you ever wanted to. Although, I'm probably boring you thus far, I promise to make more of an effort to be entertaining. You must understand that at this point in my day, exhaustion is kicking in, and as the mother of an 8 month old little man named Knox, the excitement is only beginning. Allow me to share - Knox likes to party all night or at least until 1am and well, that is not conducive to being clever at 9pm. From this point, I'll attempt to write earlier in the day so as to have more creative juices flowing, and hang on 'cause this could be a wild and bumpy ride!!
