Santa Came, He Saw and He Conquered

So it's been awhile since I've posted. Alot has happened since then. I think I should talk about Christmas first. Rooney's Grandma Peggie, Grandma and Grandpa Wade (seen in picture) , Aunt Kristi and Uncle Andy all came to visit. They came under the guise of the holidays but Rooney knows it was really just to see him (I would have done the same thing). Rooney still hasn't discovered the joy of opening gifts but as you can see he enjoyed playing with the gifts (these are electronic drumsticks from Gma & Gpa Wade). Rooney is still learning where and what are appropriate surfaces for banging drumsticks on (Courage asked me to send out a personal thanks). Oh poor Courage! They're pretty sweet drumsticks though. Maybe Mom plays with them when Rooney is sleeping.

Of course we had a great time and it was wonderful to see so much family. If Rooney plays his cards right, maybe one day, all of them won't have to fly in to visit...they'll just be able to drive over.


Big news since I last posted...WE FOUND OUR HOUSE! Mike and I decided to put in an offer on a nice house that we first looked at a several weeks ago. Seems we should have stopped looking after the 1st house, but it took looking at all the other houses to tell us that. Anyway despite the windstorm and a 5 day power outage we were able to get into the house again, decided we liked it even more the 2nd time (and the 3rd) and put in our offer the next day. Thankfully it was accepted and we should be closing mid-January. Yikes! That was fast. I would like to show you a picture but it appears once it is off the market it vanishes from the internet. Just picture a nice,big house in your head.


So that's the good news. Of course the world needs to be balanced out, so once you have good news, there inadvertently has to be bad news. I'll post the picture first:



As you can see some jerk-off's broke into my car and ripped out my stereo, Sirius receiver and the brand new FM transmitter I got from Mike's parents! They also got my Wolfmother CD!

Jerks!

I got the last laugh though...I've still got the stereo remote control!

GMa Wade says he looks like Ringo in this picture! We addressed the drumsticks to "Mike & Rooney" with the hope that there would be some (mutual?) oversight of what surfaces get drummed upon. Unfortunately we disposed of Mike's old snare drum when we moved last summer.
