Christmas Fun

Holiday play date at the Wilsons. The gang was all here to play, make cookies, Christmas trees, reindeer food, and hot chocolate. It was a ton of fun!

October/November

We've been going full speed ahead the last several weeks, so I haven't thought much about blogging. We've been getting over colds, helping Maggie practice walking and talking, hosting and attending gatherings, repairing flooded washing machines, refinancing the house, etc... There is just a lot going on in the Wilson household.

Here are some pictures and videos of recent events:

The latest...

We're slowly but surely going broke one copay at a time.  We've been to the doctor 5 times since December 23rd.  We were disappointed 4 out of the 5 times when the doctors said, "Nope, just a bad cold," referring to Katie, Maggie, and I.  However, Katie was the winner of a double ear infection after Christmas! Since then, thanks to an antibiotic, Katie is well again.  Maggie's sniffles and cough are clearing up, but she now has diarrhea, which is SUCH a joy to clean up. And, Jimmy and I are still suffering from nasty coughs that keep us up at night.  I do think we're on the tail end of all this madness.  We have to be because it's getting to be too much.

During our last visit to the doctor's office for Maggie's unsettling "purring" sounds, Dr. Schoffner asked to see Katie's back to find out where we insert the batteries.  I laughed and said, "Unfortunately, there is no on/off switch."  I think he thinks she's crazy.  He's not far off.

Despite all this illness mess, we had a nice holiday season.  It was a bit crazy because of the illnesses, but overall we enjoyed visiting family and watching the kiddies go bananas opening presents.
