Family Visits

My in-laws were here for a week in mid December.  They helped us get a lot done around the house.  Drew's Dad helped him build all sorts of things and he insisted on getting Drew tools and whatnot.  They spent a lot of time at Home Depot and Lowes over the break.  His mom and I hung out at the house mostly and hung out with Matty.  We made cookies did laundry and other boring things.  But it was a fun trip.  We did go to the zoo with them and that was a very nice outing on Christmas Eve.  We were supposed to go to Christmas day dinner at his uncle's house with his parents.  They however left early that morning for fear of a major snow storm that was supposed to hit NC right as their original flight was landing.  This way they were able to get home before the snow and ride it out there.  We didn't get to see them on Christmas though or say goodbye which was sad.  Christmas day Drew and I still went to his aunt and uncle's house.  It was low key but nice.

My parents and brother were in last week and got to spend a lot of time with us.  They got to see a lot of the baby and we even made a trip to IKEA to get some furniture that we needed/wanted for the house.  It is too bad though that the weather wasn't nicer because it would have been nice to do a few more things out of the house. 

Drew went back to work today.  He had a long inservice and didn't arrive home until after 7pm.  Now he is still doing work that he didn't do over break.  Needless to say it has been a long day for both of us.  Now that I am getting back into a routine and the families are gone maybe I'll get to stamp a bit.  That is if I have any energy left after taking care of this baby.  He is awake all the time!  Whew....

Need some inspiration for my future cards and need some people to buy something of mine on etsy.  THat way I can justify making more.

That's all for now.  Keep reading.
