Poor little blog..

My blog is in definite need of some TLC so I thought I would spend a few minutes typing while my e-bay auctions are ending and the pictures from Sissy's birthday are downloading.

Yes...my little girl is officially one year old. We had her birthday party on Saturday and had such a nice time. It is such a treat to have everyone in our home and cook for them. They all do so much for us it is nice being able to give back a little bit. Brian got his chef's hat on and prepared a terrific cheesy potato soup and I made Santa Fe Soup...served it with some little sandwiches...and voila. I think everything went really well (minus the fact that my brother and sister-in-law weren't able to come). Will had a BIG time with his cousins and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.

With the Christmas season upon us, things have been super hectic. We have had lots of play dates, social activities, shopping, and....unfortunately...sickness. I feel like the kids have been sick all winter and "winter" just started. Abby is cutting ALL FOUR molars at the same time (so needless to say...she is a mess) plus she is getting over a cold. Will is finally over his cold but is suffering from a case of the rottens since he's been sick...so it has been a lot of fun. :))))) I hope we are on the upswing for a while and the kids will stay well.

Not much to report on our end. I have been doing a little shopping and a little e-baying to make up for the shopping (which I learned I just broke even) and Brian (after some changes at work) has been enjoying his job so much more. He is not in meetings all day every day and the stress level has greatly improved. I am thankful that he is more at peace. Now--we just need to get him over his cold. (Oh yeah...did I mention Brian has been sick too....and since I've been typing...Will has coughed 3 times...grrrrr).

I think that about sums it up. Shopping, sickness, birthday. Oh...I got our Christmas cards addressed and ready to be mailed out. Though not the best picture of any of us....it will certainly do.

Happy Holiday!
