Saturday: It was a typical Saturday morning - stuck to our routine and walked around Salvation army. Then we went to walk around the mall. Jacob got out of the stroller and walked around too. He doesn't always look ahead while he's walking so he almost ran into some people. Then we took him to play in the middle of the mall. Jared and I have so much fun watching him play. He does really well with the other kids. They have a really big toothbrush that Jacob likes to brave walking across. He fell several times onto the soft carpet and seemed to think falling was fun too. When we got home Jacob ate his lunch and Jared went to Lowe's to get some wood to put a floor and a wall in his workshop. While Jacob was napping today we got the whole floor put in. Jared measured and cut the wood and I hammered them in place. For the last couple boards my arm was getting so tired I hand to use both hands while hammering. It looks really nice. It was pretty cold outside so we decided to go inside and have a warm bowl of veggie soup. Jared was ready to watch the Colts game. Every time there was music on the tv Jacob would dance. He would look to make sure Daddy and I were dancing too. If we weren't he would stop dancing, call our name, and then start dancing as if to show us what to do.

Sunday: After church we went out for lunch in celebration of Pastor Shane birthday. There were several couples there. Jacob sat on a booster seat inbetween Jared and I. After lunch we went up to the hospital to visit Grandpa. He was sleeping when we got there so we started looking for paper to write him a note. He woke up. He was looking really good and said he was running on 4 cylinders. Jacob pinched his fingers in Grandpa's closet door. He came over to me crying wanting some kisses. He was soon fine and running around. This afternoon while Jacob was napping, Jared and I built a wall in the workshop. It was cold outside and my feet were frozen. Jared obviously was working harder on this job than me cause he was hot.

Monday: We got several inches of snow during the night. The roads were pretty bad - even the highway hadn't been plowed. When I got to Vikki's she said Kenzie was really sick with the flu. After work today Jared meet me at Mom's and we drove home together. It had been snowing all day. Jacob is scared to walk in the snow. He loves to look at it but won't touch it.

Tuesday: Kenzie was feeling better this morning but stayed home to recup. Jared work a half day and picked Jacob and Kenzie up at Vik's. Kenzie is staying at our place tonight. When I got home from work Jared had dinner made and Kenzie set the table. Her and Jacob had the house all picked up. Kenzie wrote on the table in the letters from the fridge, We Love You. The dinner was great. Kenzie told me they stopped at McDonalds and each got a med strawberry shake. Then she said her and Truman played for a while outside on the ice and had lots of fun. Tonight Jacob and Kenzie took a bubble bath. Jacob peed on the side of the tub before getting in. Then when I let him run around naked after his bath he ran in our closet and peed in there. Tonight Jacob had this dried wet wipe that he played with. He'd give it a ride on the back of his tractor. When i would fall off he get off the tractor, put it back in place, and hop back on. Most of the night though he walked around with it around the back of his neck (in 2 pictures above last).
