The Pursuit of Sleep

In honor of this new blog's name, I figure I should actually write something when Amy gets me up at one of the crazy hours of the night. It's currently 6:42, we woke up at about 6. I know that's not super early for most people, but it is here. Especially when I slept terribly last night.

We leave for Texas tomorrow, so I have a pretty long to-do list today. I just hope I can find the energy to do it all. I should probably be working on stuff right now, but this is more fun :)

I am excited for the trip as a whole, but I am sort of dreading the drive. Two days in a car with a two year old. I have a feeling it's gonna get a little stressful. But then we have a busy week ahead of us once we get there, including Melissa and Joseph's wedding on Saturday. It should be a fun week though! I can't wait to see everyone there!

Why does this commercial never get old?

Snow in October

I've realized that the weather here changes more than it does in Texas. On Monday, it was close to 80, Tuesday was in the 60's, but then Tuesday night came a big snowstorm and yesterday we ended up with probably 6-8 inches of snow on the ground.

It's amazing how snow can transform a city. It doesn't look like the same place anymore. Trees stand out so much more, fields seem bigger and buildings just fade into the background. I always like the first few snowfalls. They're beautiful and different from the weather of the past several months. I also love the way snow sparkles in the sunlight.

It doesn't stay this pretty throughout winter, so it's nice to enjoy it for a little while.

Our little Canadian is still a Texan

Brant came to visit yesterday and brought Amy some Texas Longhorn pajamas. So here she is brushing her teeth in her new pajamas.

She just recently started brushing her teeth. I was afraid it was going to be a hassle, but she actually loves it! I don't think the bubble gum flavored toothpaste hurts.

New blog home

So, this is my/our new blog. I felt that the old one was a little more baby-centered than I wanted it to be. This one is for everything in life, whether it be Amy, Brandon, me or just something I find interesting. It will now go here.

I hope you enjoy reading and I will try to keep this as interesting as possible.
