Christmas comes early at our House

We all went to bed Wednesday night to a nice warm house, but we woke up at around 4 in the morning to no heat. Our trusty heat pump decided it was time to quit and just happened to be one of the coldest weeks of the year. Leah and Noah packed up and went to the Funny Farm while I stayed and tried to keep the house warm enough to not bust any pipes. The heat pump was the original that came w/ the house and it was on borrowed time anyway since the house was built in 1984. Joe brought some heaters over, and between those and the wood stove we kept the house quite toasty.
The guys are here this morning putting in a new heat pump so we should be back to normal hopefully by this afternoon. Noah has been a trooper and hasn't complained a bit, but he doesn't know that his Xmas present this year will be a heated house, haha. Thank goodness he is not old enough to really know what Xmas is all about anyway. This was just really bad timing since we were planning on selling the house in the spring anyway, but at least now we can list a brand new heat pump w/ the house.
We took Noah to his doctors appointment this week, and everything is still looking good, and he is growing like a weed. We started him on rice cereal this week, and he is still trying to learn how to eat. I am sure if he is anything like his Dad he will learn pretty quick, and start to really like this new ability. Hopefully I will put some new pictures up by this afternoon of the little man.
