Merry Christmas- 2008

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

Well this Christmas was wonderful. The children both had a great time at both of their Grandparents houses. Mary Elizabeth was very into it this year as she is getting older. And Drew loved all the excitement himself too.

They have an unbelievable amount of gifts as the family was so very generous. Someone needs to come help me figure out how to organize all these toys!!! All in all we are blessed.

I hope everyone out there had a truly wonderful Christmas. Here is our card that we sent out this year for those who didn’t get a chance to see it, I apologize in advance if I missed anyone!!!

 

Boo-Boos

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008
So Drew fell last night and hit his head REALLY HARD on the door jam to his room. And he had quite the bump on his little head. Looked like a big GOOSE EGG!!! :( It was really scary but he was fine after some tears. He went on to play normally, eat, dance and all. No signs of sleepyness, throwing up or loss of appetite. We tried to ice it as best as possible, on and off when he would allow. This morning he woke up and it was quite the different. Still has a good shiner there… but not so bad.
And doesn’t it figure, we have our appointment tonight for Christmas Pictures to be done! I thought about postponing it but for many reasons I just can’t. Gifts and Cards are waiting on these pictures, the bruise can turn many colors and take forever to go away, and ME has dental surgery tomorrow and sometimes with her condition she will swell a little when sick or having had work done etc. So Christmas photos with the little bruiser it is.

So speaking of boo boos and the dental surgery… We are not sure what he’ll do tomorrow but we can be sure the dental work is needed. She has recently complained of some tooth pain and one of her teeth has quite a bit of decay. So anyone out there that was planning on giving ME some candy gifts for the holidays… please don’t. She has enough problems with her teeth due to her condition, candy is the last thing she needs an excess of- besides the fact that candy and toddlers aren’t a good mix- hello SUGAR! Smiley

Mommy also got her own big boo boo last week when hot oil SPLASHED onto her hand while making dinner. It was very painful and looked awful. It’s healing decently now though.

Phew… so far Andy is in the clear though (other than his annual winter cough)! Let’s pray that’s the end of it all! And of course remember to keep ME in your prayers tomorrow, as any dental work can be painful and well of course we always pray for her as she goes under anesthesia. Thanks in advance!

Our visit with Santa…

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

So we visited good ole St. Nick….

ME was well prepared, and though she was a tad shy- she was ready and willing. She’s starting to "get" the whole Santa idea. Drew on the other hand, well he had no idea what he was in for. While we have waved to Santa from afar and that was fine…. he didn’t like being up close.

So I sat the kids on his lap. Drew was confused and distracted by people, decorations and his sister. Immediately he started to climb off and towards his sister, then he turned his head and it clicked- Im on that weird guys lap…. and he cried hysterically. He had the whole bottom lip out and all! Later we even waved again from afar and he was fine, he started to get closer and nope he cried just at the thought of being near the guy. Oh well.

We still got pictures, Sure the first one Drew is hiding Santa and climbing on his sister who’s fiddling with her dress… but it’s cute anyway. Then when Drew was safe in mommy’s arms we took one with Santa & ME.

And here they are:
