Some housekeeping:

Beau got his first real picture taken today.  I found the photog on Facebook (some friends had used her) and decided this would be an ideal gift for his grandparents.  We dressed him in a white button down and khakis.  Too bad his haircut sucks-- and thank God the lady had a cute "newsie" style hat for him to cover the hack job.  So, donned in a cute hate and some suspenders, Beau looked like a little porkie fat cutie pie.  He smiled and was SOOOO cute.  Hopefully the pics will turn out.

Its snowing here.  Finally.  I'm praying for a crazy winter of snow.  I don't want our snowmobiles to sit in our garage and gather dust.

Christmas decorations are up.  I need to finish the lights outside/the entryway.  The tree looks awesome, the manger looks amaze balls and I have my winter candles going (see below).

THE ONLY candles to burn in the winter:

Bath and Body Works Chestnut and Clove
Bath and Body Works Winter

I'm trying to teach Beau about Santa but he really only grasps the idea of sparkly ornaments.  Baby steps I guess.

Shep went for his 15 month shots and guess what..... ANOTHER freakin' ear infection.  I see tubes in the near future.  With that being said, I'm beginning to think his ears may be chalked full of fluid.  I dont think he can hear very well.  He won't respond to any voice if he is in another room-- he only responds when you are speaking in front of him.  Thoughts?
