Well, my house is quiet and lonely now. All of our visitors from Christmas left this morning. I had a lot of fun with everyone!! We did a lot! After Mommy's graduation stuff we went "sight-seeing" in the area to show everyone. One day we went up to Horsetooth Reservoir and to all Mommy's open spaces, another day we went up the Poudre Canyon. And Mommy and Daddy went snowshoeing one day while I stayed home with everyone. They had a bunch of fun!! They went up the Big South Trail, which follows the Poudre River into Rocky Mountain National Park, but they didn't go that far. Here's Mommy testing out her new Snowshoes:

Christmas was great!! We went to church Christmas Eve, and then I went to bed early so Santa could come, and he did!! He left me a TON of presents!! In fact there were so many that he had to give me a wagon too, just so he could get them all to me!! I love all my presents, and I play with them a lot!! Here's what our tree looked like on Christmas morning!

Today after everyone left, Mommy and I went for a test ride with my new wagon. it was such a warm day, I just wore a sweatshirt jacket!! Imagine that!! Almost 60 degrees in late December!!

But as exciting as these last couple of weeks have been, I'm Pooped!! I miss everyone already, but it's nice to take a nap and relax too. I hope I get to see them all again soon!! I wonder what me and Mommy are going to do all by ourselves now that no one else is here and she doesn't have school to go to! Well have a Happy New Year Everyone, and if you need it too, take a nice long nap!!

Hi Everyone!! Sorry for the delayed update!! We have been having so much fun here with everyone. Last Friday Mommy Graduated!!! Yeah, she's all done!! Here she is walking in:

And me and Daddy with her afterwards! Turns out she hasn't officially graduated yet, because one of her professors didn't have time to read her paper, so he gave her an incomplete until he can change it and give her a letter grade!! hahaha!! He told her that might happen. Then we did Christmas early with Grandma and Grandpa Louie. Mommy made them a Bragbook of all ME so they can show me off to everyone!!

They gave me some really cool toys, and I haven't stopped playing with them yet!! (I think I'm driving Mommy and Daddy Crazy!!)

I can't wait until Christmas is really here and Santa comes, I've been a good boy, so I should get lots more toys!! Talk to you all later!

Happy Graduation to Mommy!!! She is now done with all her schoolwork. She turned in her last paper this morning. She still has to go to a Final, but there's no test, so it doesn't really count. It's just a regular class meeting, but the professor is taking attendance. So all she has to do is show up! Yay!!

It's is SOOOOOO cold here!! Yesterday it was only in the 'teens, and last night it got down to -19 degrees!! And the windchill was -36 degrees!!! So Mommy and Daddy let me sleep with them last night so that I would stay warm. It's only supposed to be 9 degrees at the highest today, and tonight it will get down to 2 degrees. But tomorrow is supposed to be a balmy 27 degrees!! It's gonna be like that all week this week. The warmest day is Wednesday, and it's gonna break the above freezing mark at 33 degrees!! So if you're coming to visit for Mommy's graduation or Christmas, you better bring some really warm clothes!! Mommy bundled me up all tight today to go and turn in her paper. I had on Boots with my wool socks, Fleece lined pants, my winter coat, hat and mittens, and a blanket on me in the stroller. Thankfully she was able to find a spot in the meters and we didn't have to walk too far.

We got so much done this weekend!! Mommy and Daddy finally got a picture on our big wall in the living room. It's one that we took when we were in Telluride and Ouray this summer. It's a pretty picture and it only cost them about $60 to get it blown up and framed!! And we got lots of cleaning done that we had fallen behind on cuz we've been so busy. We are now ready for everyone to come visit!! Grandma Wilson and Unkie Rodgie & Auntie Kathie come on Wednesday, and then Grandma and Grandpa Louie come on Friday!! I'm so excited to see them all again!! Well, there's a lot going on the next couple of weeks, but I'll try to update everyone as much as I can, with pictures too! Look for pictures this weekend of Mommy's Graduation!! Talk to ya later, and stay warm everyone!!

So much has happened this week!! Let's see, where to start!? Monday Mommy and I did some Christmas Shopping, then Tuesday was a regular day for Mommy at school. Oh yeah, but she did find out that the only final she has to take is now going to be a Take Home Test, and she gets it on Friday before Finals week!! Yeah - no Cramming!! Then on Wednesday Mommy took me to get my hair cut - I have ears again!! On Wednesday I went for my 18 month check up (can you believe that I'm 18 months already!!) Anyways I weigh 24 1/4 lbs, and I'm 34 inches tall. But the real kicker is my head!! Apparently my head is so big that the Dr. remeasured it cuz she thought the nurse was wrong!! But I also had to get three shots, and that was no fun! (one was a flu shot) But I got Bugs Bunny Band aids, and I had lots of fun sticking them to things when we got home!! (like Mommy's face) hehehe

Also on Wednesday it started snowing (this is after it was in the 60's on Tuesday), and it just kept right on snowing!! We ended up getting about 5-6 inches and it was so pretty!! Thursday night we got a fog too, and it left pretty crystals all over everything - Check out our Aspen Tree (on the left) and the bushes in front of our house, all Frosty!

Mommy also got her hair cut on Thursday, (and Daddy got his cut last weekend) so we will all look spiffy for the Holidays!! Nothing really exciting happened on Friday. But today we went to cut down our Christmas Tree!!! It was so much fun!! The weather was perfect, sunny and warm (for middle of December at 8-9,000 ft.) We looked and looked and found a couple of nice trees, but Daddy decided that he wanted to get a Spruce tree this year instead of the usual Lodgepole. So we found the perfect spot with lots of Spruce trees. The trouble was finding one that wasn't to skimpy on branches!! But we found one we all liked, and Daddy cut it right down!! Then Mommy decorated it this evening. We had to be very careful with the decorations cuz the branches aren't as strong as on a lodgepole, so we don't have any heavy ornaments on there, and there's not too many. But we did get lights, tinsle, and and angel on top! The tinsle is my favorite - it's so shiny!! I don't know why Mommy and Daddy won't let me play with it?!?!

Well, Mommy only has one more week of classes (but she has 2 big reports due). And then the week after that she GRADUATES!!! And I get to see lots of Family people!! YEAH!! And then the week after that - SANTA COMES!!! And we get to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus!! YEAH!! So much exciting stuff going on!! Have a good week everyone!!
