Oh what a weekend ...



Friday, oh sweet Friday.  Friday was a joyous day.  For those who aren't in the know, Lizzy has had a couple of appointments at Children's Hospital for the shape of her head.  Her doctor was concerned that her head was mis-shapen (really?  what new baby doesn't have an odd shaped head!) and that it might not round out correctly.  So back in August we had one appointment to see if Elizabeth would need surgery or need to wear a helmet.  Praise God that both were not the case.  We were told to take a wait and see approach.  We waited.  We saw.  On Friday we went in for a follow up and again praise God that Lizzy got the all clear!  God bless all those wonderful people at Children's though ... if we ever had to stay for awhile, we know that we would be in good hands!

Saturday brought a fun filled day shopping at Southcenter with a dear friend and her almost 18 month old little girl, okay more like Lizzy lost it and screamed a majority of the time.  We still had fun and despite Lizzy's temperament I was able to buy multiple Christmas gifts.  Phewww!

Saturday night brought more excitement than I would like ... our furnace crapped out.  Yes, you read correctly.  At about 6:30pm we noticed it felt cold, went and turned the heater up, nothing.  But wait ... it would kick on ... and oh yeah ... nothing.  The stupid thing turned on but the fan wasn't working.  Really, REALLY ... it was about 30 degrees outside and the furnace tuckers out.  That sucked!  Now we feel like the worst parents as we don't even have a warm house for our baby girl.  So we got resourceful, dressed in layers and I slept on her floor while we warmed up her room with a space heater.  At least she was nice and toasty! 

Come today and we have someone out at 10am to look at it and in less than 10 minutes he has it fixed.  $200.  Best $200 I've spent all month, rather all year.  Like I told Ben, if it were just him and I no big deal we'd bundle up and make the best of it until Monday.  With Elizabeth, yeah frickin' right.  I walked into the bedroom at 4:15am this morning and told him to start calling people!  Haha!  We are so thankful and lucky that it was only a $200 fix.  We spent the rest of the day Christmas shopping and visiting Santa.  I had to beat the rush ... gotta get a crackin' on those Christmas cards!
