Well Hello February!

I know it's been a while since I did a blog post. January just doesn't ever seem to be my month to want to write anything. Normally it's just cold, boring, and traditionally stressful because of work. I don't have that excuse this year, but taking care of the baby should count for something.

However January wasn't a total loss- I was semi-productive. I attend a few breast-feeding support group meetings, found a babysitter to take care of little man on the days that myself or my mom will not be watching him, and Sam and I did sneak away for a short getaway! 

A few months back (when I really was needing a break from the babe), Sam and I decided we would join a group of our friends who traditionally go to Galena, Illinois every winter. 

We had been on the trip once before with these friends; and it seemed like a great way to have some husband and wife time without a baby around. Also I knew Sam's parents would be very excited to get to spend the whole weekend with little man. So it was a win for everyone involved! 

 

Doesn't  he look excited for his weekend?!?

Sam and I got up to Galena Friday night, and we pretty much just had dinner and hung out- nothing too crazy. Then on Saturday we decided to walk the town and check out some of the wineries and shops. We also picked up some tasty treats while we were there!

However we decided to cut our trip short because we knew a big snowstorm was coming Saturday into Sunday. Before we had Sammy, we might have brave the drive, however I wanted to make sure we got back to little man safe and sound. Also, I didn't want to chance getting stuck three hours away from home, so we hit the road Saturday night and made it back before it got really ugly. 

I'm really glad we did, because this is what we woke up to yesterday morning- 

So as you can imagine our Super Bowl plans ended up being very exciting with just the three of us hanging out at home watching the game. However like Sam said it was "the best Super Bowl yet! 

Doesn't Dad look extremely happy?

Today is actually a snow day for my school. I guess it doesn't really matter being that I don't have to go back to work for another few days; however, because the school is closed it's one less day of sick/vacation time I have to actually use. Score!

I hope everyone's weekend was nice and you stayed safe if you are part of this crazy blizzard! Have a great week, and I promise I'll try to post more this month.
