maybe before 2012...

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

i kinda feel like i had to have a little "reality" there... :) i haven't blogged in a few weeks...i totally skipped talking about our Christmas and saying "goodbye" to 2010 and "hello" to 2011...
yes, please feel free to nominate me for your slacker award...

hopefully i will get around to putting something up at some point...maybe before 2012 :D

yes, that's my mantra...
maybe before 2012...

here's the latest, in the quick form...

we had a wonderful Christmas... K came away with some great presents...and lots of them. she loves her blocks, her doodle pad (the magnetic kind), her books, doctor kit, a basketball hoop, bathtime crayons, and an easel...pretty much everything. :) we appreciated our gifts, as well...things like new silverware, new frying pans, and new khacki pants for work are some of our favorite things :D
we have enjoyed 2 Christmas celebrations so far...once with my parents and then with Ry's family, too...
Christmas with my family was cut short, however, due to the 12 inches of snow that was forecasted for the Philadelphia area... my parents had to leave right after our yummy Christmas meal on the 25th... but they made the best decision since Philly had some serious white stuff and they made it home about 5 hours before the snow started to fall...

i have been so lacking in energy...and, 18 days later, i'm still struggling with this sinus situation... i don't have a fever, but i feel tired most of the time...and being 35 weeks preggo probably doesn't help... the good news is that we may be able to supplement our income with my sultry (translation: hoarse) voice...... :)

we've had family here since Dec. 21st until Jan. 1st, minus a few days...

my sweet girl is cutting her 2 year old molars... she's been pretty pleasant, considering, but she's had a touch of the "momma cold" too... she has a nice croupy cough, but thankfully, the coughing is rare...

the dogs have been under the weather, too... Beezer and Shorty had a food fight (not the throwing kind :)) last week...shorty came away with a nice puncture wound at the top of his head... (120 lbs. vs. 20 lbs. - easy to figure who would win) it's finally healing, but not after he reopened it making it look like he had been in a war on Saturday... i doctored him up again and have been watching the wound...and it looks better. Beezer also had to make a visit to the vet after a week or so of unusual behavior...crying when getting up and just looking odd (his eyes)... thankfully, it was a relatively cheap visit with 2 prescriptions for an antibiotic and some pain meds... he had a fever, signifying an infection somewhere... and, at 10 1/2 years old, he's riddled with arthritis... having two ACL surgeries on his knees doesn't help, but he also has arthritis in his hips and elbows... the cold weather has affected him greatly this year... the pain meds are for that situation... thankfully, he seems to be much better...

thankfully, Ry has remained healthy! :)

so, that's the latest, in a simple form... :)

:)
we hope you all had a wonderful holiday.... :) hopefully i'm back to blogging...at least for now... :)
