November 16-18
Eric's family came out for the Northwestern/Iowa game. Even though Eric was the only one happy with the outcome, we still had a fun time. Nicholas got to go swimming a few times with Uncle Alex at the hotel. The pool was chilly, so he hung out in the lukewarm hot tub. Other than them all going to the game, we just hung out most of the time.
Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving we went back to Iowa for the long weekend. On Thursday we had Thanksgiving at the Owens'. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone. Emily took some pictures of Nicholas for Christmas and I can't wait to see more of them! On Friday we had Miller Thanksgiving. That night was really fun! Katie was also there and Ali & Ashley came over to spend the night. We all watched Elf and then did some of Ali's ELP games! Saturday Nicholas hung out with dad all day and then Sunday we saw Papa Tim before heading back to Wisconsin.
Daddy Day!
Yesterday I was at a dance competition all day so Eric and Nicholas were on their own for 12 hours! I thought they would just hang out at home and play (there was talk about bad weather), but they did anything but sit around. They went to Menard's to get some stuff for the house and then to Babies R Us and bought Nicholas a new set of hat and gloves. After coming home for lunch and a nap, they then went to the home brewing store so Eric could get more beer supplies. Then they played at home... well, and changed the basement light so it worked, did some laundry and a load of dishes! I should leave more often!!!
Future
We are getting ready for a really busy couple of weeks. Back to Iowa on the 17th until the 27th! We have the Reams Christmas the 18th, Nicholas' 1st birthday on the 19th, a few days of rest and then a few more Christmases. On the 31st we leave for Dallas, Texas to go to the TicketCity Bowl Game. Well, let me rephrase that. Eric is going to the game while Nicholas and I shop!! Busy, busy!!
