This morning after breakfast Luke and I went to the playground up in Spring Hill. There were only two other kids when we arrived, but upon leaving an hour and a half later there were lots. Luke had a great time and didn’t want to leave. We only left because he went exploring around the park and he tripped in a big puddle, soaking himself. After lunch he took a decent nap, and once he woke up we played until Liz got off work. I worked on the computer on some house stuff until dinner time. Now he is getting his bath and I will go ride the exercise bike again. I have 42 minutes of The Expendables 2 left, and will try to finish tonight.

This morning I went to Kroger. It was my first time out of the house in a week. Our road was still a mess but Bear Creek and Nashville Highway were fine. The store was restocking but most of what we needed was there. A little later we all drove up to Nashville to celebrate Lauren’s birthday. We played in the back yard and ate pizza. We drove for a couple of hours to get home so that Luke could get in a good nap. At home we unboxed and played with a delayed Christmas present from my parents – building blocks. They were a bit slow in assembly, but Luke enjoyed them. This evening I rode my exercise bike and watched the first 30 minutes of The Expendables 2. That was pretty entertaining and it felt good to get some exercise.

It was nice and sunny today, along with a little warmer. Luke had a Zoom meeting this morning and afterwards we chatted with my parents and played in the snow some more. He had a great nap and went outside with Liz after she got off work early. He was again a little late going to bed. He was mostly in a good mood today, with a few spots of mischief. He is still pretty congested but is a good sport about it. This evening I pretty much finalized materials lists and cost estimates for the next two houses.
