The Grady Family

Well, things around here are crazy as always. I'm back at work, and its tough in general on all three of us. Cedric is taking care of CJ alone, and hasn't had much time to work on his thinking pixel stuff. Plus, with me working, Cedric has been taking the night-time shift. hopefully he will be sleeping through the night soon, so that Cedric can get a little more sleep.

Last weekend we visited everyone in Michigan for Christmas. We drove up Christmas morning, and had dinner with my family. Then the next day we drove to Detroit to hang out with Cedric's dad, then to Westland to hang out with his mom and finally stopped by Canton to hang out with Cedric's brother. It was a long day, and CJ was so pissed off by the end of the day.

And my word - apparently first babys get tons of gifts! We had to leave the carseat that we got (yay!) in Michigan, because we just couldn't fit everything into the car.

Unfortunately we came home with more than just presents. As of today, CJ and Cedric have head colds, and I'm having sinus issues, which I can only guess are going to turn into a head cold. Its not pleasant. I had what had to be the worlds worst sinus headache today, and Cedric and CJ were miserable as well - CJ even had a fever at one point. Cedric gave CJ a bath with Johnsons Vapor Bath which seems to have helped his breathing. Right now, football is on (of course) and Cedric is passed out on the couch, after dealing with a sick baby all day, and then shoveling the sidewalk when I got home. (I offered to do it! Really! He wouldn't let me.). CJ is passed out asleep on my shoulder.
