Buzz is home! Well for a couple weeks!

So I had a really good surprise Wednesday night. Buzz has been working in Vernal for the past 3 weeks and was due to come home Thursday night for the company Christmas party. We were having our nightly phone conversation and about 20 minutes into our review of the day, the doorbell rang. I was kinda mad considering it was 9 at night and I get really nervous being home alone in the dark (I know I know.... pathetic). So I asked Buzz to hold on and opened the door. I saw a dark figure leaning against the door frame and when I looked up, it was Buzz!!! I was SOOO excited to see him! So he's home for the next 2 weeks and then they go to Jackson Hole for a month or so. We'll miss New Years together, but he's a good daddy and husband who provides for his family and will do what he has to do.
Like I said we had the work Christmas Party. It was our 8th year!!! Crazy huh? But like I keep saying, time flys.... especially when your having fun. Anyway we do a white elephant gift exchange every year and this year we came away with a popcorn tin and a $10 gift card to any Cinemark theater. We took the little man and he was, of course, a huge hit. It was the first time most of the crew had met him including Rick and Tonya. We also played a drunk game called chuga chuga choo choo but we were all sober - dang it lol. The place we have the Christmas party at every year has a fire place in the middle of the room and we ended up knocking a rock off of the the chimney playing the game but it was bound to happen we just kind of spread up the process. I have to say most people complain about the Christmas parties they have to go to but I actually have a good time. I'm sure it's proabably because it's with a bunch of crude construction workers instead of conservative office worker type people.
What else..... Hurley had his 4 month check up friday. He is in the 50th percentile for his height-so that's normal but his head circumfrance and weight are only in the 10th percentile. Our Dr. isn't worried so neither are we. Hurley's first rice eating experience was perfect. He loved it and knew exactly what to do from the first bite. It didn't weird him out until about 1/2 way through but he ended up eating the whole bowl. So we moved up from 1 TB of rice to 2 and so far it seems to be helping him sleep a little better at night. Still not back to the 8-5 schedule, but he's hasn't been up every 2 hours every night this week so I'll take it.
We also got some pictures done Friday. They weren't the best but at least they're done. Little stinker was being so stubborn with his smiles. The best smile we got out of him was right after he sneezed. I'm just glad the photographer caught it. Then of course we finish our photo shoot and all he does is smile lol. Oh well. He's cute either way!
Well, until next week...
