Playing Catch-Up…December in Our Household!

Well, Friends, it’s been quite a while.  After our last post, we all got the Rotavirus and each had it for about 10 days, through Christmas.  So, we don’t have too many pictures.  There is lots going on in our household, so I’ll post a few different blogs to catch you all up and promise to do a better job of keeping the blog updated, now that we are all well…for the most part!

On 12/11/12, Connor had his first Christmas Program at preschool.  He did an EXCELLENT job.  This is Cole, sitting with Adriel, while we were waiting for it to begin.

Jason and I before heading to a Christmas Party on 12/20, little did we know, we were just about to all get very sick…

On 12/21, we woke up to some beautiful snow…and the first instance of the Rotavirus in our house.  I took Cole to see Dr. Whiles that morning because he was not feeling well and could not keep anything down.  After being at the doctor until 1, he was exhausted and slept until 4:30, and by the time he woke up, he did not even have tears when he cried.  It was horrible.  So, we headed to the Children’s Hospital ER and there, he received 300 CC’s of fluid before we were released at 12:30 AM.  After putting him to sleep, Connor woke up, throwing up at 1:30 that morning.  Fun times…

My parents came in on 12/22, thank God.  Jason and I were both hit with it that morning and this is poor Connor on 12/23.  Did I mention how horrible it was?  We were so grateful to have our family take care of us.

On Christmas Eve, Jason and I were so sick that he could not even take part in Christmas Eve services at church, which last all day.  We were so sad to miss them.  We were also so sick that we could not get off the couch but decided to try to help the boys feel a little better by giving them Christmas presents from us.  This is Jason, giving Connor a box of Ninja Turtles and G.I. Joe’s that he played with as a child.

(Told you we didn’t take many pictures…I think it’s the sickest we have ever been…ever)

On Christmas Day we headed over to Granny and Jo-Jo’s houses for some Christmas fun.  I didn’t get many pictures here either because we were all super sick.

Well, that was December in our household.  Not really the most fun Christmas ever, but it’s not because of all the awesome family we got to spend it with.  Here’s to hoping next year will see us all healthy for the holidays!
