Christmas Eve
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a
creature was stirring, except for my computer mouse... Here it is,
Christmas Eve, I'm sitting up waiting for Santa, so what better time
to write an update.
We're staying home for Christmas, taking it easy for the holiday. The
kids have been very excited, having a hard time containing themselves.
Just a few short hours and the whole Christmas carnage will be over.
We went a bought some more organizing buckets from Ikea in
anticipation of the wave of new toys.
The kids have some sniffles and coughs, and Nate has been nursing a
cough since just after Turkey Day. Well, this last week it developed
into pneumonia so he's been on antibiotics. Luckily he's on break, so
he won't miss any school. I'm hoping that he'll get over the whole
thing soon. It's hard, because they've been so full of energy, yet
running around outside just starts the coughing fits.
Becca is walking all over the place now. She even walks part way
around the block, when you can get her to leave the occasional cat or
flower alone. She's a real crackup, and is starting to say quite a
few words (although we're probably the only people who understand what
she's saying ;-) ).
Last weekend we were up at Nana & Papa's house, along with all my
sisters and their families. All 10 grandkids were together, and had a
great time, as usual. Several of them were either getting over being
sick, or just starting, so we're lucky if all we get out of it was
some sniffles. Madie & Boby joined us there, also, so they got to
enjoy some of the Doane Family Christmas Choas.
As usual, we're behind on our Christmas cards, so we'll get those "New
Year's" cards out soon.
Merry Christmas,
- Greg
