I love my mom, but she drives me crazy. And my sister and my brother. We have way too much drama for a family of four - usually caused by her. The latest is that she is too scared to pick up my sister and brother from the airport. The kicker is she MADE Alex fly up here from Florida (he is spending most of his break down there with his friends) b/c she didn't want him to drive. But yet she won't pick him up (and Devon arrives at the same time). My sister got so mad she hung up on her last night and decided to rent a car. I told her no, that somehow either Marsh or I would pick them up as she spent enough money on the flight. It just stinks that my mom can't pick up her children knowing that it would be slightly easier than having us do it with a 5 week old at home that would like to be fed every 2 hours and a husband that is at work all day. My mom gets off early today...but again it's just too much drama. Marsh isn't a big fan of Christmas to begin with so this really makes him enjoy the holiday! I am starting to think that we should just go away somewhere instead of being around the stress. This is probably Devon's last year being with us anyway as she better be engaged soon and thus spending the holidays with Phil's family in Texas. ARRGH it shouldn't be so hard.On a lighter note Hadley finally had her first bath in her baby bathtub this week. Her cord just did not want to fall off...it took forever! She didn't mind the bath too much and Marsh took tons of pictures...these will of course embarass her when she is older! We are such mean parents;)
Debbie - I thought of you earlier this week as Dan Fogelberg passed away and his Same Old Lang Syne song is playing alot this time of year. You loved that song and I always think of you when I hear it..."Just for a moment I was back at school, and felt that old familiar pain"...that line still gets to me! It's one of those timeless songs, that is for sure.
Well, in spite of my ranting above I am looking forward to Christmas with our baby girl. Best wishes for a very Merry Christmas!!

Is that a baby doll in the bathtub? Just kidding, she's such a little bean. That won't last long though with every 2 hour feedings :) Sorry Ma is being such a pain, maybe I can call and share my MIL stories so you have someone to commiserate with.
I had heard that Dan F. had passed, but I forgot that he sang that song. Now you have me humming it in my head, I may just have to find that tape from high school! I'm still worried that the whole scene could be reenacted in the grocery store, but since we don't spend Christmas Eve in the hometown, I try not to worry! Sorry about your mom. Try to enjoy your Christmas anyway. Hadley is still a doll! You have so much to be thankful for!
