Thought for the day...

A little of Christmas in pictures

Silas LOVED his Deigo 4 wheeler... if only he knew how to drive!


They only thing Baylor asked for... a "Bug Maker"



Callan got a bucket full of dress up costumes from Santa... this was outfit change 1 of about 10!!



The boys at my Muber and Pa's house

No news... so I will post pics

Eliza had her surprise visit on the 13th and I got it on the 23rd. I was happy to get it. She is looking sweet as ever!

WHEW!!!!

Christmas is so much fun... but it can wear a girl out. Here is is nearly 10PM and I am still on that too much fun headache high...the boys LOVED all their gifts, and spending lots of time with family ( we still have more tomorrow). I am sad to see my brother and his wife leave because I do not know when I will see them again. They live in Florida and he is a youth minister. So, they do not get away much, and we do not get to Florida often enough. We go in the summer... but that is about as much as I can do with 3 little ones in the car too. The also have a child who is 6 months old now. And this was only the 3rd time I had seen him. I hate that I do not get to see them more often. Hey Bubba... if you ever read this... there are churches here... MOVE HOME!!! I will try to post more pictures later... this one is of my family here today. (Me, hubby and kiddos are still in our PJ's and looking a little like bed heads)

On a side note... you know that Batman thing Santa worked so hard on... so hard that he had to get if off E-bay beacuse no where else had it in or could ship it in time. The E-bay seller said "new in the box" Well guess what... NOT! One of the support rods for the tent part was broken and when we got up this morning, the bed inflatable part was FLAT. I patched 2 holes that I found, but it still will not hold air. Luckily it does not bother a 3 year old THAT much. I have an e-mail into the seller, hopefully they will do something about it. If not... I guess I can call the 1-800 number for some replacement parts. UGH!!!

ANYWAY... I hope your Christmas was MERRY!!!! Ours was!

A Nannie's Wisdom

So we spent the day visiting family in a town about an hour away. When Eliza came up (because she was on the refrigerator and I said "look at that cute baby"), my aunt began talking asking if it were hard and how much longer. When I said "I just do not know how long it will be" my Nannie said "Well, not as long as it has already been." It made me smile.

I HAVE NEVER...

Seen anything like it in my life...

Thank you SBP... this was a hoot to get in the mailbox... and you know the boys LOVED IT!!!!

YEA!!!! Eliza visits the Dr.

We got an update this morning!!! I was thrilled! Here is what the Dr. had to say...

Hello!

Today I had the opportunity to review little Eliza (they call her by her birth name) , she is now aged 3 months and has been, the caregiver tells me, doing OK in the time since she was seen for her last visit in my office, she is alert and active, will focus on things that re nearby, mainly bright coloured things, and will
follow them for a short while, is now able to lift her face from the bed
when lying on her stomach and shows active voluntary movements of arms and
legs, alternates opening and shutting her hands as well as kicks and pushes
with her feet. She enjoys very much being talked to and makes cooing noises
both in response and also to call attention to herself, she now smiles
socially. I am told that she takes well her formula. Upon examination
today I found her in good health she appears happy, her physical exam does
not denote any major abnormality and her neurological assessment appears
normal for her age, her weight is 10 lbs 6 oz, length of 54.6 cms and head
circumference of 37.2 cms. She received today her following dose of polio
vaccine. Please find some pictures attached.
