Quiet Sunday

Today was a nice, quiet Sunday. I started in with a sore, scratchy throat yesterday and it continued on through today! I woke up with Sam about 5:30, but I was so tired. I had just finished feeding Noah and got him back to sleep, so I wanted a bit more! I took Sam downstairs and turned on Max and Ruby (his favorite cartoon) and snuck in a few more zzz's while he watched it! When John got up, he let me go back to bed and he handled breakfast! I slept until 9:30. I couldn't believe it! It felt so good! I ended up staying home from church because Noah had a stuffy nose an Mitchell had the same sore throat I did, so we just decided to keep our germs to ourself!

This picture is my eldest son, Chipper! Chipper is really just a nickname for him, but it's what we've always called him. He was listening to his ipod and watching the football game, and I couldn't resist a picture! I feel like I rarely see him these days, so it gets hard to document that he really does live here!

He will be 13 in a few months, and I'm in denial. Honestly, I just gave birth to him! How could 13 years fly by so quickly? He is a typical almost-teen. He likes girls and music and hanging out with friends! It's such a flash from the past, because he is obsessed with Michael Jackson and anything else from the 80's. I lived through the 80's, they really weren't as cool as my son believes! He's a pretty good little actor too, and loves it! He just finished being one of the leads in the Christmas play at school and is awaiting tryouts for the Spring musical.
