Luke slept in a little bit again this morning, which was great. After breakfast we just kind of relaxed until it was time to load up and go to the tree farm in Lewisburg. They weren’t actually growing the trees there, but they did have some for sale, along with chickens and goats to look at. We found a nice tree and talked with the proprietors for a while. Back at home we had lunch then Luke and I napped. That was pretty nice. Afterwards I started working on shelves for his closet, then we began decorating the tree. We did a video call with my parents so that Luke could show them the tree and some other things we had been doing around the house. After dinner I worked on the shelves some more.

Luke and I spent a lot of time playing today. After nap we all went to downtown Columbia so Liz could do a little shopping. It was nice to walk around the square. Hard to believe that Christmas is three weeks from today.

Luke did a bit better today. We went outside and worked in the garage after snack this morning. It was chilly but sunny so we weren’t too miserable. Nap time was again a struggle but he was in a good mood after waking up. We played in the spare room until Liz got off work.

It was mighty chilly this morning when Luke and I set out for High Hopes. By the time we arrived there were snow flurries coming down. Unfortunately there had been some miscommunication and he did not have his occupational therapy and so we waited for 45 minutes until it was time for speech therapy. He handled the delay very well and did great at speech. After that we went to Home Depot for a couple of things. Back home Luke did a lot of playing and hauling. This evening after dinner I went to Kroger. Fortunately it wasn’t busy at all, possibly due to the inclement weather.

After breakfast I drove up to Monteagle, via Bell Buckle. I stopped by the cottage and chatted with my parents and Lauren before my dad and I went to my storage unit. There we loaded up my car with a bunch of tools and materials that Ill use for projects at home. Back at the cottage we all relaxed a bit more before I drove over to the new property. I walked around a little and made sure that my tractor was still there. It was, fortunately. Next I took some stuff to the thrift store in Tracy City and then met up with a guy to give him some clothes for his son who is a little younger than Luke. Finally I went to Hallelujah Pottery and chatted with Debbie and Charles for a bit. It was nice to see them. My drive home through Fayetteville and Lewisburg was nice and I arrived home around five. Luke and I played a bit and then we had dinner. He really resisted going to sleep but he eventually did.
