We are having a lovely time in Virginia. Jon flew home on Tuesday, and I already miss him very much. A week is the longest we will have spent apart since we were married.
I have spent most of the time here relaxing and letting the family enjoy Nate. We opened gifts and had breakfast together on Christmas morning, then we had Christmas dinner at my aunt's house with all the relatives. That night, everyone came over to my parents' house to sing Christmas carols (with Daddy on the piano, my cousin Laura on violin, and me on flute). A couple of mornings so far, I have gotten up to feed Nate in the mornings and then given him to my mom while I go back to bed until 9:00 or 9:30--glorious! :) We have also made many runs to Starbucks; Lynchburg got its first Starbucks only relatively recently (in the past couple of years), so it is still a novelty to go there (there isn't a whole lot else to do). Mama, Lucy, and I went to a 9:30 movie ("The Family Stone") last night after Nate went to bed. Today, Lucy and I went by the J Crew outlet, and I bought a new magic wallet (this one's pink) for $5. Nate now recognizes his grandparents and aunt and uncle--it is so fun to see him smile when one of them walks into the room. He has also mastered the johnny jump-up we borrowed from my cousin, and he loves it so much that I won one for him today on Ebay. :)
