    Got off a tad early today so figured I would try and get things situated for the colder weather headed our way. Well my helper was not into that plan at all. So after some fussing I decided heck with it, no infant will stop me! Never to early to get them started.

    Would help if he was awake for the lesson. Wearing him and pulling the cart up the driveway was a tad tough. One load down will grab some more tomorrow when his grandmother is here watching him

    Supposed to get 5-8 inches of snow starting midday Friday going into Saturday. Then it will get cold with highs by Sunday struggling to get above zero. Warmer later in the week. Our boys and families are supposed to be here on Saturday for our Christmas time with them. Don't know if that will happen considering they have a 3 hour drive one way to get here, and that is with good weather.

    Never too early. I always found a combination of a baby carrier + cold weather = instant sleep for baby. Unfortunately couldn't do that in the middle of the night.

    Cold for indiana this week. Lows in the single digits with highs in the teens for the next couple days. Filled up the wood box in the house and kicked up the fire.
