'tis the season....to be jolly

Or in our case, 'tis the season to be SICK!  Man oh man, have we been hit around here.  It all started about a week and a half ago....went through all of us in a big way and then hit Mom (Jeanette) and Katie Christmas night.  Not exactly what they had in mind after travelling up here to be with us all at Christmas.  Thankfully, they are on the mend.  Katie, in fact, is excited to actually 'get ready' today and eagerly ate food without worry.  Phew!  Mom, on the other hand, not quite there yet but close.

My birthday came around again....39 years old!  Thirty nine.  3 and a 9.  Hm, no matter how it's looked at...it's hard to imagine that in just one year, I will be entering my 5th decade.  I'm creeping up that hill...and I plan to keep it at just that.  A slow, crawling creep.  hahaha....really though, I don't feel any different.  It is what it is....nothing a little plastic surgery can't cure!!!  Okay, okay...Kidding!! ;0)

Christmas was wonderful (better only if Syd were here)....we had a house full - even managed to sleep 15 bodies!   The boys are just so excited having so much family around us.  It's been just fabulous!

And now, Santa has come and gone.....and same with the leftovers.  The house is turned upside down from the toys and the traffic.  But that is okay, we will get to it.  It just feels so good to watch my happy boys....it feels good to have this week off to do as we please....it feels good to feel good....and best of all, it feels good to be so blessed with so much.
