Hayden had us up at 4am this morning. Ouch. It actually ended up working out in our favor as Shane had made plans to meet with our friends, Billy and Vanessa, to go and get firewood at 6am. I went along to drive one of the trucks and be of moral support...mainly, I was in charge of baby monitoring. Shane cut down the tree (something neither Billy nor Vanessa had seen before...and thoroughly loved) and cutting it into 16" lengths. Billy and Vanessa rolled the rounds into the open area and then chopped each round into quarters. They were all very busy little bees. The dogs, Boone and Cookie, got to chase squirrels, chase each other and eat sticks while the work was happening. They both had a blast.
Hayden was very good on the trip. He was bundled up to protect him from the 6am chill and slept in the truck on the way up. He spent most of the time sleeping in my arms or sitting in my arms while we took the dogs for a walk. Only on the way home did he start to get fussy due to tiredness (not very good quality sleep when a chainsaw is humming and axes are pounding) and hunger. He got to visit with my parents over Skype for a little while before going to bed this afternoon and now Shane, Boone and Hayden are all appreciating an afternoon nap.
