Wow, what a wondrous day…early this morning fur was flying, no pun intended, when agents from the animal shelter were wandering the neighborhood following up on reports of animal tracks from the past week in folks’ back yards…we’ll have to wait and see what this proves all about…
After an early morning rise (especially for you, Bodhi—you are showing signs of following in your Mommy’s footsteps of wandering early in the morning and ending up in our bed where you literally babbled to yourself for at least thirty minutes), and breakfast of a muffin and pancakes and juice and hot coffee for Mommy and Daddy, Mommy got the two of you bundled up for a “carriage ride” and Daddy got out our super-stroller. It proved a bit more nippy than Daddy counted on (I just wore a t-shirt and light jacket—no gloves, thank goodness I had a light sock hat in my pocketJ), but the two of you were bundled warmly and covered with blankets and sheltered by the stroller hood. So, off we went on a one hour expedition, greeting a few people and animals along the way with “Happy Holiday,” making our way downtown along Walnut Street and around the downtown area checking out new restaurants (at least new to Daddy). We were stocked with goldfish crackers and water, and the two of you seemed to absolutely love the journey, especially noting, Buddha, that you sang along with Daddy as I sang Christmas carols on our journey. We then made our way back west along Sycamore admiring the many beautiful homes, then we turned and headed back to Foster Park, did a full circle and made our way home. We were all happy to be home (especially Daddy with his frozen handsJ), and we played and watched Nickelodeon as Mommy prepared us lunch.
Not long after lunch, the two of you were down for the count for your naps, and Mommy and Daddy both took advantage of the time to get some work finished. Mommy finished helping Santa, and Daddy got the pick-up and finished up most of the remainder of the work needing done at our former house garage.
By the time evening rolled around, the two of you were beside yourselves (that’s an expression that generally means you were “all worked up” {in a good wayJ}) about going out to dinner with Grandmoo, GiGi, and GiPa; Mommy gave you both baths, and got you all dressed up, and Mommy got dressed up in one of Daddy’s favorite outfits, especially her bootsJ and even Daddy got dressed up for a change and actually wore a nice sweater (instead of sweatshirtJ). We all met at the Blue Moon restaurant and had a wonderful dinner (thank you GiGi and GiPa!!!), then we went to GiGi’s and GiPa’s house to open presents for the two of you from Grandmoo, GiGi and GiPa—and wow, did the two of you make out!
Buddha, you got your own messenger bag (man-purse) which you just loved, and Bodhi you got a kitten purse which you just loved, and both of you got so many presents Daddy will have to review them all again tomorrow to even keep track—all of which you both absolutely went wild over. The two of you are in for a lot of play timeJ. By the time we made our way home just after nine-thirty, the two of you had crashed for the night in the back seat of the car. Mommy and Daddy carried each of you in to bed and set out some milk and cookies for you know who…tomorrow is another special day for two very special babies…who are so specially loved by such loving and special people…thank you Grandmoo, GiGi and GiPa…and to all a good night…J
