Ugh..my sister is not coming now until Tuesday night. She was supposed to come home on Sunday. The weather was so nasty on Sat. night and SUnday where the airport is in Conn. that she is now 2 days behind getting her flight home. That's ok though because now she is staying 3 extra days on the other end and will get to be here for New Year's Eve and isn't leaving until Jan. 2! Yah!

Sammy is getting a recheck done at the doc's this afternoon for his pneumonia. He now has another cough going on, like a cold one. I am praying hard that he is able to resolve this before the holidays! My poor sweetie...I am getting so frustrated with the no sleep , too much meds, and no eating which is our latest battle yesterday.

One and a half more days at work with the kids and then vacation baby! :)

no Botox...

So we drove all the way to Northampton yesterday to get Sammy's Botox done and the doc decided not to do it because he is being treated for pneumonia. I guess better safe than sorry! So we have rescheduled for January 7th...hopefully we will have kicked this by then!

It wasn't a totally wasted trip because we went to Yankee Candle and Sammy got to see Santa! He loved it.... Santa was pretty good....Luke got to get his glass pickle for the tree...apparently some German tradition! :)

Luke made a great project for his CAD class that is a model house for retirement living. He is so funny, he made a safe room and a man trap to keep the old people safe from intruders! He also included wheelchair accessible doors for their power chairs. :) My sweetie! :)

We got an xray for Sammy yesterday, and got the call back today that he has asthma/pneumonia. so he's going on yet another antibio to see if we can kick it's butt! My poor baby ! Is school worth this at all??

On the good side, we found the lights for the tree (yes, I'm an idiot and they were in the ornament box after all) but they were all dead so Brian and Luke trekked to Big Lots and got new lights. So the boys put the lights on last night and Luke and I did the yearly tradition of putting the decorations on..of course Luke had to go to bed and insisted I wait until this afternoon to put the tinsel on with him! :) My little sweetie! :) He is hacking like a mad man from a cold, hopefully on the mend...he's a pretty quick healer, and is a trooper! :)

Going to bring Sammy to see Curious George and Martha Speaks at Barnes and Noble on Sunday! He is so excited! Doing the birthdays (mine and my sister's the day after mine) this weekend, should be fun! :)

I'll get some pics of the boys with the tree...

Santa Clause is coming to town....

Sammy is so hyped for Santa now! We got snow on Saturday and our Christmas tree yesterday. It is HUGE...of course doesn't look as big when it's outside. :) I will have pics of it when we get around to getting the decos and lights on....that is Brian's job this year (the lights) since it's too tall for me this year! :)

Some pics of the log house with the snow (makes the snow so much more doable) and Sammy with his homemade Advent calendar that my sister the graphic designer made for us! :) The boys both love it! :)

Hey, now I have a sinus infection! What the heck??!! I am done with this... I need VACATION!

Sammy went for his re-check for his bronchitis before Thanksgiving and was diagnosed with an ear infection. Will it ever end??!! He is on a different kind of antibiotic now and we are also giving him an oral steroid to see if we can clear out the rest of the junk in his lungs. UGH! He was crying his head off this morning before I left for school, not sure what the issue was...maybe just tired, but then he doesn't finish eating his breakfast and can't tell us what's wrong...hopefully school cured the crabbies!
On a lighter side, he is so happy it is the holiday season...he is totally in love with anything Santa! :)

Have to post some more pics soon...
