Eventful Days

Well we have had some very eventful days here in Virginia. Friday was not a very good day. It was all normal until Angel woke up from her nap. She decided that she was old enough to get out of her crib on her own instead of waiting for mom to get her...she climbed right out of the crib and went head first onto the hardwood floor. Mom about had a heart attack! So after getting her settled down, I checked her over good and then we headed to the ER to make sure everything was ok. I cried the entire way to the hospital...Angel just laughed, jabbered, and carried on like her normal self. She obviously didn't learn a lesson from the incident, in the hospital she was trying to crawl off the end of the bed and do flips off her daddy's lap onto the floor...she's not afraid of anything! We came out of the whole situation in good shape though. Angel only suffered a tiny goose egg on her forehead and a bruise that went down her forehead a little ways. Needless to say the crib mattress got lowered as soon as we got home to the bottom position.

Saturday we spent the day celebrating Christmas with Jon's mom's side of the family. It was really nice, a relaxing and fun time. And we enjoyed seeing family that we hadn't seen since before Angel was born. Angel had fun playing with all the little kids and getting all the attention. She's quite the little drama queen and loves to have attention...she's a Barnes that's for sure!

Today we had a nice relaxing day. We went to Church this morning and enjoyed that as always. Jonathan and I got a few things done while Angel took her nap, which is always nice to feel like we've accomplished a little something. Then after dinner we FINALLY decorated our Christmas Tree that has been sitting here with only lights on it for over a week. It's really pretty and we enjoyed decorating it with our little Angel! She had fun looking at and playing with some of the ornaments as I pulled them out...she even helped us hang some of them.

Be praying for our family this week. Friday will be a busy day. Angel will be going to the doctor about getting the place on the inside of her lip cut out...it will be a scheduled surgical procedure. Then we will be traveling to Statesville, NC for a Christmas get together with Jon's biological dad's family...this will be a very special Christmas for this side of the family, everyone will be there this year which hasn't happened since way before Jonathan and I got together. His cousin is even going to be there from Alaska with her fiance. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone and for everyone to get to see Angel!
