We'll Soon Be Nustled All Snug

I've said it before. Christmas Eve is my favorite. I don't need to say it again. Accidentally starting traditions like waffle breakfast and monster movies can only enhance an already perfect holiday. I didn't watch any monster movies today but I did watch Rex Ryan lose to my Giants so.... same thing.





I floated around the house and took a few shots while the baby's in nap mode and Laura is en route. I got about 15 more minutes before I have to go fetch the child and start dinner. And then it'll be an avalanche.

til then...

My Kinda Peace

Abandoned By The Bunches

Laura's left for work. Danielle & Vic have headed down to Ro's for their Thanksgiving dinner. My parents left for home about an hour ago and they took Yuula with them.

I don't know what the hell to do with myself.



It hasn't been that long since I've had some me-time. How is it that I forget how to do it. So far I've gone down to check the mail (nuthin), took a walk around the yard, eaten about 20 chocolate riesens and watched an interview with Regis Philbin. I'm positive there's a million things I should be doing but I won't think of them til Yuula comes back home tomorrow afternoon.



Any suggestions?

Here Is Silence, Soup & Sleep

It's quiet here. Slow day at work. Warm living room and cozy surroundings. The rest of the world seems to be on fire. News is tense. Protests, pilots & Penn State. Ay. But here, I got a baby taking a sweet little floor nap and I am about to indulge in my first chowder of the season. It's the best I can do.




PS. Not a good idea to play leapfrog with a unicorn.

The View And The Low Anthem

This is the view from the hammock. I'm there now. Back breaking day. Laid the deck, painted trim, sanded and installed windows,... is that it. It's a mess now. Like a proper mess. Everything half done. But its gonna rain soon, maybe, or it's a good enough excuse to stop for today. I can hear kids playing down the road, Yuula and her mom are upstairs taking a bath and I got the Low Anthem clarinet song playing. Pretty peaceful moment. I think I'll keep it.

Silence Is Powerless

For the second time in 9 hours the power's gone out. Kinda nice actually. I can hear the grass drying. Yuula is still sound asleep and Laura just got to work. This morning over tea biscuits we talked about finally getting some real life gardening going in this garden we've spent so much time on. Sunday and Monday are supposed to be lovely. Weather owes us a nice weekend. Don't do anything stupid now.

Power is really staying off this time. Man, I was just getting into the new Fleet Foxes album.

Let's Keep The Peace

Yuula was a damn lunatic last night. We got no sleep for the first time since she was born. Not crying really, but just being needy. I think she's missed her mother and was just demanding some quality time. I kept her up most of the day so I think tonight we'll be able to replenish our sleep supply. She's peaceful now. Hopefully it will last. I need rest so I can get up tomorrow morning and dig us out before more snow falls. It's futile.
