Happy Holidays Everyone!!
Where to start?!It has been so long, I don’t know who is caught up on what, so here is a quick(ish) update and some fun pictures to show what’s been going on in the Davidson household recently.
Henry is awesome!! He is getting bigger & bigger! He is 2’ 11” and 34LBS! He is turning 2 on December 20th!! Can you believe it? 2!!! He is a smart little man & is seemingly fearless & never sitting still. He still crawls in his sleep…. He seriously never sits still. He just seems to have too much to accomplish, which as you can probably guess means he still doesn’t sleep! He has only slept through the night a handful of times & it takes hours to get him to bed. He just wants to play & explore all the time. Can you really blame him though? J
He is learning new words every day & is starting to make “sentences” For example if he wants to go next door at Blakely & see grandma he will say “ Henry Grandma up doggie” , because Grandma lives upstairs with her dog… It’s very cute! I understand at least 90 percent of what he says, but it takes a little decoding sometimes, so I translate for him a lot for other people. He is potty training very well and learning quickly. I’d say he makes it 50 percent of the time.
We are living between two houses at the moment. We are on Blakely Island at Doug & Janet’s cabin while Ben finishes building his parent’s house next door. We also have a house rented in Ellensburg where we have all our stuff and Ben has work in the area. We drive back & forth quite a bit, which can be wearing, but we like both places. Oh, and we hope to have the parent’s house done before Christmas…but we will see. It’s so close, but there are so many little loose ends to tie up.
Our latest big news is that we finally have Wind-Borne here at Blakely in the marina!!! We had her shipped from North Carolina to Anacortes nearly a month ago now, but just got her here to the island about a week ago. We are taking our first overnight North West cruise in her this coming Saturday & are really excited!!We are taking Henry to see the lighted boat parade at Friday Harbor. John & Laurie will be joining us on their boat the Laurie Ann! Henry likes being on board, although he did object when I told him that the aft cabin is his new room. I think he thought it was going to take the place of his current room, which he loves.
We are also thrilled to announce that Santa is coming to Blakely Island this Sunday!! Henry is the only child on the island, so he will have Santa all to himself, although he doesn’t quite know what that means. He is excited to see Santa & knows who he is, but has no idea what he actually does. Santa will arrive at the dock on a big boat mid day with a ship full of elves & presents! He gets to sit on Santa’s lap & get gifts & take pictures! How awesome is that?
As for Ben & myself, there is nothing much new to tell. We are both well & happy…although we both wish we could have more sleep in our lives! That’s our Christmas wish, sleep!
I finally convinced Ben to take me to the Nutcracker in Seattle on the 17th!! It only took 6 years to convince him to do it. I absolutely love the nutcracker & PNB does a really fantastic one! My mom will be watching the little man while we are out since it’s not really a baby appropriate event, so we actually have an evening out to ourselves! Yay! We rarely go out without Henry, but I don’t think he will mind since he will be having plenty of fun wearing grandma out. If I’m super lucky Ben will take us out before hand to our favorite restaurant the Metropolitan Grill. Best steaks ever!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Hope that answers some of your questions!
!!!Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
