Christmas in Prescott
Christmas a la Grandma Diane
Grandma Diane sent Snug lots of love and snuggles from Colorado. Sim is a lucky little guy.

Look at the Size of that Melon
This is the hat that Snug wore home from the hospital. My how that head has grown.
Hike in the Dreamy Draw
We took an afternoon hike in the dreamy draw. We were pretty lucky to sit on the mountain side drinking wine and playing with Snug while watching traffic creep on the 51.

Bed Time is More Fun With Dad
With mom it is straight to bed but bedtime with dad means Snug gets to try on hats, change his clothes, listen to music and play games. Guess which he likes better.

Fall Adventures Part 3
The 24 hour adrenaline rush also known as taking Snug canoeing on the Blue Ridge Reservoir in mid-October.
Phase 1: Snug's 30 second try out of his life vest makes us think he likes it. We think taking him on a camping adventure via canoe an hour away from the car is a good idea.
Phase 2: We get to the Blue Ridge Reservoir, unload, pack up and set out for what we think will be a peaceful 45 minute canoe ride to a camp site.
Phase 3: It becomes evident quite quickly that Snug does not like his life vest. It squeezes his little face and he hates it. The crying begins.
Phase 4: The sun blazes on his little face. The crying continues.
Phase 5: The wind picks up and chills his little body to the bone. I hold him to keep him warm leaving the paddling to Mike alone (not that I am much help anyway). The crying continues as the hour long canoe ride becomes an hour an a half battle against the wind.
Phase 6: Haul all of our stuff up the steepest, rockiest incline to our campsite. The crying continues.
Phase 7: Set up the tent as fast as possible so Snug can take a nap.
Phase 8: 45 minute respite while Snug naps. While he sleeps, it starts getting cold. We contemplate packing up and paddling back to the car. We decide to stay.
Phase 9: The sun begins to set and the cold descends upon us. Make a fire and bundle, bundle, bundle the littlest boy.
Phase 10: Its getting super cold and Snug needs to sleep so the whole family goes to bed at 7:30 pm. Snug's night time layers: Onsie, pants, socks, fleece two-sie, sleep sack, gloves, beanie, and down vest/bag over dog bed, I mean travel bed.
Phase 11-24: The longest night ever. Snug pretty slept well but we woke every 20 minutes to make sure he was warm and breathing. His core stayed warm but the poor, little guy kept taking his arm out of his cocoon. He had a little icicle for an arm.
Phase 25: Snug wakes up at 3 am laughing. We assume he was laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation. We were not as amused.
Phase 26: I wake up cold at 4:30 am. Convinced that Snug is freezing, I put him in my sleeping bag with me.
Phase 27: The sun comes out. It is still freezing so we stay in the tent in our bags. Snug is remarkably calm.
Phase 28: When the sun is up and it is starting to warm up, we pack up and get out as fast as possible.
Phase 29: Mike finds that the canoe has iced over.
Phase 30: No blazing sun in Snug's face and no wind chilling him to the bone makes the ride back a much calmer endeavor.
Phase 31: Arrive back at the boat ramp. Pack up and gladly go back to Phoenix
Final thoughts: Camping on the Blue Ridge in October, beautiful? Yes. Worth it? Maybe next year.
