Holiday Update

Well it is mid-January and I figure it is about time I updated the website. The kids had a great holiday. They got everything they wanted and more…ok…ALOT more!

Zack’s big gift was his new pet Leopard Geko – Guido! We picked him up the day after Christmas. Tammy loves the fact that we have to feed Guido live crickets. Zack also got a few books (including a new book from his favorite author – John Flannagan and some classics; Treasure Island & Journey to the Center of the Earth), a remote control helicopter, a skateboard, and a few DS games.

Delaney made out like a bandit with Barbie & Paperoni stuff. Santa gave her a new digital camera, which she absolutely loves!! She also got books, her favorite are the Puppy Place series. DS games, a Wii game, Blokus (a board game) and some art stuff were all big hits with her!

Christmas eve dinner was great…dinner was good, the food turned out better then I expected (after some trial & error with the Calamari). The kids really enjoyed spending time with their cousins. Christmas day was mostly a blur of wrapping paper, happy kids, food, drink, and family! We had a great time hosting both and loved having the family over for the holiday.

Here are some pics, enjoy:

Flu Update

plainfieldjim — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:04:31 +0000

Everyone is starting to feel better.

Zack seems to have dodged the worst of it, he stayed home on Wednesday with only a slight fever. Hopefully that is all since he has his 1st meet this Sunday.

Delaney is also doing well, she stayed home for 2 days and is now her usual happy, chatty self!

Tammy is also feeling better, but has not seen a kiddo all week and probably won’t until next week, just to be on the safe side.

I am feeling a little better, still have a slight fever and some congestion, but it is manageable thanks to Tylenol and Sudafed.
