Cozy and warm

What a great day! The heating repairman was here today and after 30 minutes we had heat! Nice, toasty, warm heat!! We are loving it! And around five we discovered we had electricity. Woohoo!! So, we are back in business. Fixed furnace and no more running our generator. Life is good. Now, if we could hear from our adoption agency that would make everything perfect!! Little Man continues to ask about his "baby brother" and when he gets upset with me he dramatically cries "I want my baby brother". Today I asked him who he was going to call on his phone and he said "my baby brother". So, I think he's ready. We are sooooo close. And yesterday actually marked the 7th month waiting (we were told 5-7 months) so it's only fair we get a call soooo very soon.

In other news, I researched the local YMCA membership and it's fairly inexpensive for a family (only $10 more than a single adult membership). There is an indoor pool so we can start swimming laps and they have a couple racquetball courts. Maybe we can even get Little Man in swim lessons. Anyway, that will hopefully be part of our plans for the new year! Along with eating dinner by 6:00 every night instead of waiting until it is getting late and we can't think of anything to eat.... Plus that will help me get on a schedule for when we have two kids and it will help to get them to bed earlier. Little Man is usually down by 7 (and up between 7-8) and I'd like to keep him on that schedule.

This weekend we have hubby's work Christmas party. I still need to get all the laundry done and get things packed for our trip home. I can't wait to see my family again. All of the siblings will be home and I'm looking forward to seeing them. I still need an idea for the gift game ($40). So email me if you have any ideas!! Please....

Good night!
