Wow, so much time has past. If you don't blog like everyday or everyother than you lose track of everything. But I sure don't have time for that anymore. It seems now that I have two little ones and the holidays I have been super busy. I haven't had a moment to think. Sunday I came down with Strep after Josh just recently got over it. Hopefully, both of the kids will not get it. That would just stink for Christmas. Thankfully, I got meds in time and maybe since I am still breastfeeding Sadie will get some antibiotics too in her system to fight off anything. Well, Thanksgiving was fun. It was good seeing the family. We missed Dustyn and Jill. It was very good to see Lindsey and Brian back from Africa safe and sound and then off again. And Meme suprised me with Sadie's dedication dress that was made from my wedding gown. Meme did such a wonderful job making it. She looked absolutely gorgeous in it. I am so glad that I did that with my gown. I had no clue what to do with it but I was tired of moving it all around so I thought how sweet it would be for Sadie to have a piece of my dress to treasure. I love it so much!
Next, we had Christmas with my family a little early. They came down on the 13th and stayed until 22nd. We had fun. We took them to Bass pro Shop and saw Santa there with Caleb. We all told Caleb that he had to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas and he whispered it to him before they could even take the picture. All the while Sadie was busy chewing her reindeer antler that was on her bib. It was cute. Speaking of Santa, Caleb told me today "Mama, I need to go talk to Santa". I said why and he told me "Because I need the Dinosaur moobie". That means movie. Anyways, he figured that Santa listened to him the first time with the gifts my parents gave him that for sure if he told him about the movie he wanted he would get it. So cute. I love this age with Santa. Anyways, I am so glad that my parents came here for Christmas. I wish I had more time with them or I wish I could go up there to see all my family. I miss everyone and I miss Jersey. We also got to do Sadie's dedication. My parents were here and Mike and Danielle were able to come too. I was so happy that both sets of grandparents were there. The bummer thing that happened though was that at lunch I started to run a fever and immediately got strep. Monday, my parents had to leave but before they left we all went to take me to the doctors. I was running a 102 fever with nasty stuff in the back of my throat. I am feeling a whole bunch better but my throat still hurts a bunch. I am glad I caught it now in time for Christmas.
Well, I am sorry that I have been away from blog world but life has been very busy. It is not easy finding time to just relax. By the time I find it I just want to go to bed! Life in the ministry always keeps you going. I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas if I don't blog before then.
