Our last half of December proved busy and interesting, and at times hard. All four of us got sick...sinus infections, an ear infection, a staph infection, mastitis (for the third time) and a random high fever thrown in just for fun! We are so glad to be back to normal now and pray that the rest of the winter is better...
Our Christmas included a visit to Atlanta to see Bebe and fam. Despite the fact that we were physically down and out, we enjoyed visiting with everyone. It is always great to be with your mom when you're sick...it doesn't matter how old you get or how many kids you have of your own! Gehrig enjoyed playing with Megan & Nathan...and continues to be in love with Slade's girlfriend, Jessica. He calls her his "big girlfriend!" Thankfully, she is good natured about him wanting her to play with him constantly, sit next to him, read him books...etc.etc.
We came home on Christmas Eve to be home with the kids and enjoy visiting with B's family. After everything being so busy the week prior, we opted for a vegetable soup Christmas dinner! It was delicious and very easy. B was home with the kids for the rest of the week while I worked...they did great. I am so grateful for him! It was helpful to focus on work and get used to leaving Greer in the mornings.
The last weekend was full of more family activity. We celebrated Christmas with B's extended family on Friday. The Bournes gave Gehrig the game, Break the Ice, and he loves it! He follows the rules for a couple of turns and then gets excited and hammers it all away...such a boy! On Saturday, we went to Sylvania to celebrate Pa's sister Doris' 60th birthday. It was nice to see family and stay with Mammaw & Pots afterwards.
Finally, on Monday we drove to Dublin for the annual Dorman New Year's Bash. It was amazingly easy with the kids (they graciously let us have the upstairs suite) and so much fun to be with everyone there! Happy New Year to you all. We are praying that we grow closer to God and each other in 2008...we love you!
p.s. We didn't do a great job of picture taking...there are some in the December album on the right.
