Getting Ready For Baby Savage!!

In just a little under 2 months, Baby Savage will be making his way into the world so it was time to head to Ft. Collins to help Jill get the nursery ready!!

Aleah was excited to see us and I enjoyed playing with her while Glenn and Robby went ice fishing that evening - no luck either!! Jill and I watched an unbelieveably BAD movie - it was so bad we didn't even finish it!! Because I rate the movies from Netflex after I've seen them, I always check the list of the movies that I will "love" and this was one of them - NOT!!! It's called The Long Kiss Goodnight and I don't recommend it at all!!

Glenn got up at the ungodly hour of 5:00 to go ice fishing and after clattering around in the kitchen for awhile cooking breakfast (we were sleeping on a mattress in the living room as Robby had just painted the nursery and the smell was too strong in there), I could NOT get back to sleep for a long time and couldn't believe when Jill came down at 8:00 and I was still sleeping!!

We went shopping for a little while to try and find some decor for the baby's nursery walls but didn't come home with a thing!! But we had fun looking and after getting some coffee, we headed home to start sorting clothes - and sort we did - between all the clothes from Jessi and Jaime, there was a LOT to sort through - we sorted and matched and washed and dried and folded for what seemed like hours!!!

And then we headed to the kitchen to make some meals to freeze that Jill can use after the baby is born!! Aleah had fun just sitting in her chair watching us!! She looks SO CUTE in the outfit that Jaime gave her for Christmas!!

Glenn came home with FISH - 25 perch - yes, they're small little things but really tasty!! Because we already had a ham in the oven, he cleaned them and brought them home for Sunday night's dinner - and yes, they were great!!
Saturday night's movie was MUCH better and it was enjoyable just to relax after our busy day!! But Sunday didn't turn out as fun as we woke to SNOW coming down pretty good!! So much for Jaime and Brad bringing up the load of furniture for the nursery!!
While Glenn cooked us a huge breakfast, Jill and I scurried about doing the few last things she wanted done and then it was out the door for a treacherous 4 hour drive home on the snowy roads!!
And to think the next time I'll be in Ft. Collins, it will be for the birth of our 3rd grandson - we can't wait!!!
