Derby time!

Its Derby Time!  

This is Christian's Pinewood Derby Car.  We worked on it together and we are proud of how it came out.

I don't have any idea when the race is because I don't get much communication from anyone at Cub Scouts.  I sent a note with Christian this week for his den leader and gave him my email address and phone number so we'll see what happens.  I was really frustrated with the whole thing over the holidays.  We showed up both weeks for his meeting and no one was there.  Nobody told me that there wasn't a meeting...for two weeks.  Christian didn't get to participate in their holiday gift exchange because no one told me that he needed to bring a gift.  I really felt like it wasn't fair to Christian.  We are new to the whole Scouting thing and still learning.

Dominic called yesterday.  He was up at midnight there because he had to go pick up some of his guys that were coming in from their mission.  We didn't have much to talk about oddly enough.  I think that since we email each other several times per day sometimes, we don't have much to say when we talk.  It does seem odd though.  He did say that its warming up there but that it is still cold at night.  He got our package with the mattress pad.  He said that it was much more comfortable but he wasn't sure yet if it was going to help with his back pain.  We will have to wait and see I guess.  He ordered me an anniversary gift too.  It will be sent to the house so I'm excited to get that.  His birthday is on Monday.  I sent him a card with a picture of his gift inside.  I think he's going to be happy.

It is really cold this morning.  It was 25 degrees when we got up.  I am running out of firewood too.  I guess I will have to buy some more.  There are a bunch of people that sell firewood in the paper and they will deliver and stack it for me.

I made Mason's 12 month well baby check up yesterday.  It will be the week before his birthday.  I really cannot believe that he is already almost a year old.  So much has happened in his first year and I feel like he's still my baby.  He's getting ready to walk soon and is much more steady on his feet.  I don't know what to do for his birthday.  I would like to have a small get together but I just don't know yet.

I am going to dinner tonight with my friend Leslyn.  It has been a while since we've seen each other, so I thought it would be nice.  We will go while Christian is at Sylvan.  I'm looking forward to some adult conversation.
