It's Been A While!

We have been up to a lot.  Too much perhaps.

Calvin is fighting off another cold.  All was going in that direction until he started throwing up this afternoon.  He is gagging a lot and there is a lot of slime involved.  I am suspecting it could be drainage from his ears.

1.5 weeks ago we took Cal to the ENT.  He had a double ear infection and was treated with antibiotics.  He will have tubes put in on the 29th at Children's.  We feel that time cannot come soon enough.

I spend most nights up for some time.  It is not uncommon for it to be 1-2 hours.  I feel sorry for myself but more so for Calvie!  I am tired and not always in the best of moods.  I have been more angry and easily annoyed.  I guess I could go easier on myself.  I have been doing okay but not with much extra.  When I have more commitments I feel like it is just too much.  My plate is already overflowing.  However, I love when I get to do things with the boys.

Evan has his Christmas program at school on Wednesday and I am going!  I still think about staying home (not working outside the home). It is oh so tempting except that financial piece.  If only I could find some gold to sell!

Notice the missing bricks?  Another piece added to the overflowing plate...a mishap involving a boy, climbing moves, and a faulty installation.

All in all I am grateful for all of this and mostly for my family.  I love my boys and wouldn't trade them for anything, except my life :)

Nolan has learned how to give 'thumbs up'!

Teenie Calvie is pulling himself up more and more!

Cowie needs a family, is it yours?!?!

Please?  I'll make you a cute face or two!

I actually enjoyed this naughtiness!

I planned to post a few days ago, but apparently Calvin thought I got the computer out for him.

Happy Holidays, from our home to yours :)
