Crazy last few weeks

Around the holidays it gets to be a little hectic. Having a baby lurking around the corner doesn't help at all either. We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner at my brother and sister-in-laws house. I flew Alison's sister, Lauren, up for Thanksgiving as a 'suprise' and it was really nice to have some company for a little while.

This weekend I have Daddy Boot Camp, so that will be interesting. I think it's a 'hands-on' experience so I will be sure to wear some new clothes.

We just ordered a camcorder (Canon HF100) and I am really excited about it. There will be no HD filming of the birth, but shortly after we will have some video that we can show to her future boyfriends on first dates. I think computers make that a lot easier. I won't have to dig through boxes to find old home movies, just open the folder and its good to go.

Christmas is coming up very soon. It will be the first and last (for at least a long while) Christmas with just the two of us. We have made plans to go see "Marley and Me" in the theater on Christmas day. I started to read the book, which was very good, but I stopped once Marley got old, I didn't want to have to think about that since Marley reminds me of our Cody (the good parts of Marley, and some of the bad) :).
