Holiday Review

Though we have just been sitting around squirting syringes of milk or water in Zoe's mouth for the past 9 days, the holiday is flying by. We've been taken back to the days when Zoe and Henry first arrived and they needed our care 24 hours a day. It sure makes us sympathize for our friends who have new little babies at home. We have had little glimpses of the Zozo we know starting on day 7 of her recovery but we are far from healed as I type this entry.

The kids got some great presents from friends and family. Zoe got a cool stamp set from Ang that Henry is quite fond of as well. The pink and purple unicorn from Aunt Mary and Uncle Clint is a big hit with Z. Henry loves his truck from Grandma and Grandpa and the new bike from Santa has been buzzing around the living room day and night.

I got some much needed clothes to freshen up my winter wardrobe. After 3 years of wearing the same sweaters it was time for something new. I gave Rhett some new nonstick cookware which he is (maybe surprising to you but not to me) very excited to use. Santa also left some Chimey beer in his stocking. Doesn't Santa always know what to bring?!

Where's the time gone?

It's probably time to update. It has only been 3 months since my last post. We are getting in gear for the holidays and as always trying to figure out how to juggle our commuter Christmas.

We are dealing with our second bout of Strep throat with Zoe in less than a month. I can't wait for her tonsils to be removed. I'm reassured more everyday that this is the right decision. Her tonsils are so large, on a good day, that she has a very restricted airway causing labored sleep time breathing. It's painful to see her try to breath when she has one of these infections.

The only other noteworthy entry is that my oldest, dearest friend welcomed her twin boys in November. I'm so thankful that their arrival was blessed with overall good health. I'm hoping to put those two in my arms before the new year!
