Luke slept in later than he has in a while. This is probably the last year of that. Liz made French toast for breakfast and I ate some generic Life cereal from Aldi. It wasn’t as good as the real thing. During breakfast I read about the Nashville bombing. Pretty wild. We opened stockings and some presents before doing video chats with Liz’s parents then her brother then my parents and Lauren. All those went pretty well. We opened the last of the presents after lunch. Luke had a pretty good haul: Puffs, Squigs, lots more big Legos, a dump truck, and some books. We played a bit with the new Legos then attempted a nap. That was a no go so we went for a scenic drive during which he did sleep. During the drive my cell phone lost service since AT&T is down because of the explosion. After the drive we did video calls with Liz’s older brother and her cousin. A busy day. Then we played more, had dinner, bath, and bed time. It was a good Christmas all things considered.

Home-Lewisburg-Fayetteville-Fort Payne-Monteagle-Winchester-Tullahoma-Shelbyville-home. Santa’s work is never done.

This morning we all drove up to Franklin for Luke’s speech therapy. I went to Publix and Aldi while Liz and Luke were at High Hopes. Then we all ran a couple of errands in Cool Springs before returning home. Lunch was waiting for us in the slow cooker. Unfortunately Luke didn’t nap so we played a lot this afternoon and had a video chat with my parents.

This morning after breakfast I drove up to Monteagle via Shelbyville and Tullahoma. There I organized my storage unit a little and removed some things from it. I dropped of something to the guy who bought my house, then popped in to the Goat Market for a few minutes. It was good to chat with Eric and it was surprisingly not busy for being lunch time on a Saturday. From there I went to see Debbie. She said things were super busy so I helped her wick some candles. I drove home via Fayetteville and Lewisburg. Liz and Luke were out when I arrived, so I did a little organizing in the garage until they returned. We read and played with Legos once they arrived. Luke was in a good mood and went to bed easily.

Luke was a bit of a challenge today. We went outside and into the garage before lunch. He enjoyed messing with the tools. He refused to nap though, which set the tone for the rest of the afternoon.
