After living in Logan, UT for a few years I didn't think the cold would bother me ever again. This year I have started to experience cold in a different way, as in constantly wondering if Daniel is cold. Are his hands cold? Does he need a hat? If I put a blanket on him in his car seat what should I set the heater at in the car? I feel as though that's all I think about sometimes and as Jason knows, it would be easier if I could find his hats half of the time I start to look for them. But so fat Daniel has stayed healthy and hasn't been too cold. Stephanie's wedding was last weekend and it was so very cold. But luckily Daniel seemed pretty content all wrapped up in his warm blankets. It is on weekends standing in the snow with the howling wind that I do miss CA and sometimes even FL, even though I am aware that both places do get cold. Maybe one day we'll bust out of the cold northern states and head south, but until that happens, to those who must deal with it, enjoy the cold.
Daniel is not one to sit still very often at all. My parents say that he is totally my son and that I drove my mom crazy too but frankly I can't remember that far back. There is one thing that Daniel loves to help me with, and that is sewing. He loves the machine and loves to sit in my lap as we sew anything. Sometimes I think about just sewing straight lines down my endless supply of fabric because I know he will sit still for awhile. A few months ago I had a good friend show me how to make rag quilts. The first one that Daniel and I sewed together was for my niece Abigale. Then of course I had to make one for my nephew Joshua. Then I decided to make one for Daniel. I was going to make a transportation one, full of trucks and planes and boats, but when I took him to the fabric store, much to my surprise and delight he chose dragons over the airplanes. So we started his quilt last week. He sat on my lap or next to me while we sewed every piece together. He was so excited ...
