It won't be long...

till William is walking!



Well, everyone has now recovered from the stomach flu at our house, it hit the biggest guy the hardest. Last Saturday Will was starting to feel better but then both Adam and I started getting sick. Thankfully I was only affected one day so I could take care of William while Adam was really sick.

William is starting to pull little tantrums when he doesn't get his way or is tired. It consists of him flopping onto his back, fake crying and rolling around. Ignoring it works pretty well as he eventually gives up and starts playing with something near by. I think we are entering the toddler stage!

Christmas is in the air, we got snow yesterday so it finally looks like winter outside. We are looking forward to having the Grandparents out for Christmas. William enjoys the decorations around the house. His favorite are the nut crackers, he likes to pull the little nutcracker's beard to get his mouth to open.

The past few weeks we have caught whiffs of skunk smell in our neighborhood and a little bit of the smell making it into our house, nothing bad enough to get alarmed about. Our neighbor, Lynn called up and said she has called an expert up about it. If you have ever heard me talk about her, she is a nice lady, but not a fan of any furry creatures. She traps chipmunks because they savagely nibble at her plants to spite her. The squirrels constantly dig up her grass and don't get her started on the voles or rabbits.

Well Lynn reported there are six skunks on the loose in our town. How she knows this is anyone's best guess. It is suppose to snow tomorrow so our assignment is to look for tracks in the new snow and report back to her. We shall see what the snow reveals!
