This morning we woke to fog. Even though I didn't get a whole lot of sleep during the night, I was feeling so much better! Mr. Stannix woke with Lily and got her some yogurt to eat. When she spilled some on her shirt she refused to take it off and protested, "I am a big sister now! I need my big sister shirt!"
Later on when she went to check on Cooper in the bassinet, Hyrum caught her trying to pick him up. I tried explaining to her that she can't hold him without Mommy or Daddy's help and she argued, "But COOPER lets me do it!" We all burst out laughing at how matter-of-factly she said it. Of course Cooper lets you do it, he can't talk dear.
The entire day was filled with lots of baby snuggles! As the late afternoon sun poured into my bedroom, I moved the pillows and lied right in its golden glow and reflected on how grateful I am for my dear husband, big kiddos, and family and the care they've provided me since Cooper joined us. My heart is full!
As evening arrived, we got alerts on our phone about power usage across the province and possible outages due to the cold weather. Forced power outages would be in effect if Alberta didn't do their part to limit usage.
We turned off screens and lights, lit our oil lamps and gathered around the table for a game of "oh heck". We also chuckled at Daddy's shadow and thought it resembled Joseph Smith a little bit. It was a cozy and fun way to end the night!
