Christmas Eve

Motorin'

For Christmas this year, Mommy and Daddy traded in Larsson's old Jeep for a newer one.
With bigger tires.
And more power.

The new Jeep.


He is full speed ahead in his new wheels and lovin' every minute of it. Watch out for Larsson!

Oh Christmas Tree..

Meeting Santa

No tears this year. Just a little confusion. Followed by blank stare.

Technologist in the Making

Larsson picked out this laptop himself, and we were planning to wrap it up and put it under the Christmas tree. But... he keeps finding it and insisting on playing with it. And we give in. Well because, it's his laptop or mine or a complete meltdown scenario. So, after a couple weeks of this, we finally took it out of the box.


Isn't he adorable playing with his laptop while all bundled up in his carseat?

Thank goodness for things that keep him entertained in the car!

Blast from Christmas Past

Can't believe these were taken just one year ago!

Back to Blogging

Forgive me, followers, for I have slacked. It has been nearly two weeks since my last post.

It has been a busy couple weeks....

- 2 ER visits for croup
- 1 Santa visit (will post photo once scanned)
- a little Christmas shopping
- a lot of work

We finally put up a tree this weekend. With 5 ornaments on it. Not sure where the bins of other decorations are.... But I think that may be just as well this year. Not sure we have the time to put it up and take it down. Plus there is the Larsson factor.

All in all, we are getting the holiday spirit and looking forward to ending the year on a high note.

My Little Larsson Bear

The Mysterious Meow

Larsson LOVES the kitties that live down the street. In fact, many neighbors stop by to see these two cats that live on the front stoop a few doors down. They are big & fluffy. gray & white. lazy but friendly. And cuddle right up to you.

Even Justin doesn't mind these cats. And that's saying a lot. Because Justin is allergic and gets red eyes, sneezing fits, and a runny nose around cats. Which has caused him not to be a fan.

But Justin is willing to sacrifice for his son. He even said he would consider getting an outdoor cat for Larsson - especially if it was like one of the cats down the street.

So last week, when trying to get out the door, I heard a meow. I said, "Larsson, let's go outside and see the kitty before we go to school."

It didn't work. And a few minutes later, I looked out the window to see if he was nearby. No kitty in sight.

But all day long I would sporadically hear a meow. In different parts of the house. But no kitty in sight when I looked out the window.

I finally realized that the kitty must be trapped in our crawl space and informed Justin that he must check it out immediately.

So when Justin got home, he went to the crawl space and sure enough, there was a trapped kitty. And it was one of the kitties from down the street.

Glad we were able to set him free. Although, I am sure Larsson would have been happy for him to make his home here.
