The Tradition Continues

This is my very sleepy girl first thing in the morning. She is doing what her mother, and mother's mother before her used to do.  When the heat vent came on at Gramma's early Friday morning Camilla enjoyed all the hot air she could!! It's the best first thing in the morning when the house is still a little chilly.  I showed her that a blanket helps trap the heat in, and she sat there the whole time in a tired daze.  It was so cute to watch and caused some flash backs.  My mum taught me to do this when I was a little girl too! The best was on a Sunday after church because my dress trapped most of the heat when I stood over the heat vent. My siblings and I used to run to the nearest one as soon as the furnace turned on, with blankets over our shoulders.  Now, Miss Camilla carries on the tradition.  I'm sure she's going to miss it now that we're home because our only heat vents are on our ceiling... But she will enjoy them once again when we head out to Gramma and Grampa's over the holidays.   When Mr. Stannix finished classes for the semester, we took off to the acreage for a few days to relax (and study) and celebrate Grampa's birthday! It was a fun few days.  Today we enjoyed spending time with friends and celebrating the first birthday of one of Camilla's dear friends (she kissed him today, ON THE LIPS!!).  It was a very fun afternoon and nice to visit with everyone!! Camilla was a lucky girl and has had cake twice this week!! Mr. Stannix is gearing up for four final exams and three essays to write before Friday.  He will be a very happy man come Saturday when he only has one exam left to write!!  The baby has had more awake time in the belly lately and I've been feeling lots of movement! I'm half way there and loving every moment.
