The invisible crib rail is no longer

At approximatley 4:45 this morning, Cole started crying in his bed. I went in an got Elmo off the floor, tucked him in and said "Night night". Well, this didn't go over too well with (as Rob and Jen would call him) Coliolio. He started screaming and took things into his own hands. With Elmo in one hand, and Cookie in the other, he made the trek through the dark to our bedroom. Akin to political pundits on FOX news discussing the primary results, Mike and I are trying to figure out how this development will effect our future. Is all privacy gone? Will he do this every night now? Will he "catch us"? I already wish that rail was back.

Cole, George. George, Cole.

The computer is back and so are the pictures. I have uploaded Christmas pics and some form the Mystic Aquarium (from when we were there in December) and from the Indianapolis Children's museum to Flicker. Go to the "More Swabo pictures" link to the right.


We went to the Children's Museum this weekend to meet Curious George. It was cool. Cole was soooo excited to see him. He kept pointing to him saying "Monkey George", which sounds more like "Minkey Shores". But when we got close he flipped out!! I don't blame him as those costumes are a bit creepy to me too. We did get some pics though- see below.




Cole is doing well. He still goes to "school" during this uncertain time. We didn't want to disrupt his schedule plus he really LOVES seeing his friends everyday. Mike and I are still weighing our options but need to make a final decision in a couple weeks. I may have another opportunity with Pfizer in St. Louis which I am exploring. I feel like a ping pong ball most days deciding on one thing and then something comes up which changes the scenario. Although stressful, we realize how blessed we are with options. I just pray we decide to do they best thing for our family. Well, that's all for now. Please enjoy the pics and the video below of Cole opening a Christmas present at Nanna's house (Mike's mom)- be sure to watch for the happy dance about three quarters of the way through it, it's a subtle little shimmy.
