We've gone through a lot of Kleenex, Tylenol and nasal spray over the past few weeks. I can say that we are almost out of the woods. Everyone has been sick and is now headed back to being well again. :)
I'm sooooooo happy, as Kiley would say. So much as gone on over the past few weeks you would think everyone is at 100% and not in recovery. Courtney has a way of making sure we get to where we need to and keeping us all organized as we make it through the November and December months. Our Anniversary, Thanksgiving, birthdays and very soon Christmas and the New Year's seem to all run together.
Birthday
It's been really great. Courtney had her birthday the weekend we moved into a new house in the same neighborhood. The Garage is still jam packed with stuff that we need to find a place for in the rooms but were slowly making progress. As you can imagine it made for a very hectic birthday for Courtney even with the beautiful gift of a new home. Fortunately Karen, Brian and their two girls teamed up to allow us a couple of hours to go out for a quick dinner. When we got home she had a piece of a big cookie, ice cream and lots of singing with the rest of the family and neighbors.
Other Birthday
Courtney's mom had her 80th birthday. If she was online she probably would not be too happy with me for posting this news but I think she'd let me slide a little. Courtney and her brother put together an excellent feast at Green Pastures with her closest friends. We had a wonderful time. If you ever met her you would never think she has turned 80 because she is so stinkin' active and independent.....and very very sweet. We love her so much.
Picture Time
Since every one was fighting off some sort of illness we missed our scheduled picture day for Christmas cards and had to go with an alternate date just this past week. We got everyone prettied up and got quick turnarounds on both the pictures and the cards. It turned out really nice.
Christmas 2010Merry Christmas everyone!
