Our first snow day! We had a small sprinkling Dec 26, but the real snow fell on the 27th. It stuck around for a day or so, but then we had a warm day with mist rain & it washed it all away.

Incidentally, my new neice was born on the 27th! Yey! Photo coming soon.

Help Sink Old Navy's Blockade

Dear friends,

You would think a company that gets the vast majority of its business from Christians would be respectful of its customers. Such is true of companies that don't have an anti-Christian bias. But not at Old Navy. Old Navy has put a blockade around Christmas.

Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic are owned by the same company. And all three boycott Christmas. At these stores, Christmas isn't allowed because a handful of non-Christians are offended. Old Navy doesn't want to offend non-Christians. But they sure don't worry about offending Christians. They will take your money, but they will not recognize Christmas.

Old Navy doesn't sell Christmas gifts. They sell "holiday" gifts. They don't close their stores on Christmas. They close on "holiday." They don't observe "Christmas morning," they observe "holiday morning." They don't wish customers a "Merry Christmas." They wish them a "happy holiday." Old Navy boycotts Christmas.

Old Navy has been boycotting Christmas for years. And despite thousands and thousands of requests to recognize Christmas, they refuse to do so. In fact, Old Navy is so adamant about boycotting Christmas that they have blocked incoming e-mails requesting they recognize Christmas.

When an Old Navy store manager was asked if the word "Christmas" was used in his store, he answered: "We have a lot of Christmas gifts in our stores, but the word 'Christmas' is not used here. Everything is 'holiday.'" Old Navy even makes a joke of Christmas by offering video greetings called "Happy Chrismukkah." Take Action! Sign the petition & don't shop there.... ALL YEAR

BOYCOTT!!!!

I am venting... and i think i must do so more often, lest i take out all my frustrations on Chad.

This week's venting is at KMart & Sears. Below is a copy of my letter... i sent one to each company. Feel free to copy & adjust & send your own.

"I am very disappointed that SEARS is refusing to acknowledge "Christmas" this year. I don't know what other "Holiday" celebrates with trees & ornaments & gifts & lawn decorations this winter, but last I checked, Christmas is on our nation's calendar.

Since your company refuses to recognize that Christmas is the reason for the "holiday season," I will be buying my Christmas presents for myhusband, 2 children, their 5 cousins, and the rest of the family from a store that respects & embraces the "holiday" that makes them billions of dollars. I hope your stock & share holders have a very Merry Christmas, and please let them know why they may not.

Sincerely,Jill Watson

He's Here!

8 lb. 8.5 oz.

20 1/2"

Placerville, CA

Natural birth... fun fun We had 24 hours of random, or 10 min apart contractions... went to the hospital & hung out for 3 hours ( midnite - 3am) went home, went back around 6-7 am and baby born just before 1 pm. Had nice drugs... supposed to be able to walk around, but i was pretty numb in the legs, not that i wanted to go for a stroll anyway. Think i had 2 refills, they wore off every 2-3 hours. contractions are for the birds...

He is now 3 weeks old & is weighing in at just under 9 1/2 lb. & has grown 1/2". Doctor said he's "perfect" at his 2 week check-up. and he goes back at 2 months. I had his portraits done & they should be back next week... and i ordered "announcements" so, those will go out soon.

Mom is just about fully recovered... some things are still a little painful, like running... I tried that today. We'll see how Turbo Jam goes tomorrow.

Chad's family comes into town this weekend! Should be fun...

Looking forward to Harry Potter movie... though i really wasn't fond of Order of the Phoenix... took me 3 starts to get through the first 5 or so chapters... and i finally pre-ordered book #7 I think Amazon.com has it cheapest, without going to a store to pick it up. we don't live near any bookstores... like 25 miles away... so, ordering it makes sense.

Hope all is well with everyone! If you're still reading this on this website, you need to get Facebook! Hmmm... maybe i need a new blog site since this one is supposed to be for Jake. Jake is good... now 2 years 5 months old & wants nothing to do with the potty. Otherwise, he's obsessed with Razor scooters. the heat let-up today & we got to play outside. scooter & soccerball, plus i think he got to feed the chickens & collect eggs. THe blackberries are starting to ripen, yummmm....

anyway... all for now, time to watch a movie! :-) much love to all!!!

24 days to go...

Here is most recent photo... think it is from 36 weeks... or just before... oh, from the 8 month mark. I don't look all that thrilled... the head on shot is much cuter, but not as effective.

well, we have 24 days to go (hope not that long) & so far baby is nameless. guess that's what happens when dad is in charge. I'm ready!!! i had my last appt. on Wed & was 80% effaced.

I go back on Full Moon Friday June 1 :-) i'll be standing outside the next few days to see if gravity wants to give me a hand.





Running out of clothes that fit. I am still under my Jake-weight, but i was large in winter last time... summer clothes don't stretch as much as giant sweaters.





Have those weird not-really contractions... those aren't much fun, but really not painful. I have the most problems at night. Sleeping is a challenge, except for the night we watched "letters from Iwo Jima", chad says i passed out 2 minutes later. He ends up on the couch a lot.. guess i have pregnancy snoring...





Can't wait for this to end.. i want to get a calendar shirt or something so random strangers will stop asking how much longer. I can read their minds & answer as soon as they stop me.

Today & yesterday i am all swollen. But we did a lot of walking yesterday & i did a lot of standing today.

So, expecting lots of babies in the next few weeks... The spring ones are done, 2 girls to former co-workers in Dallas. waiting on news of an April due baby, also in Dallas... then a set of twins in Dallas, another co-worker due same time as me, and another friend in dallas.... geez! trend here?
well, at least there is one boy in NC in October, and another month + to see what my little sister gets for round 2, also in NC.

K. I'm done. look for new post around 2.5 weeks to go.
