Gee...has it been since before Christmas??

Since I've posted a blog entry?? Time just gets away from me sometime! So, how about a little update? We had a great Christmas! How could Christmas not be great with 3 youngs boys and a huge family? We made a visit to my parents Christmas Even, then Jon's parents on Christmas....and pretty much stuffed ourselves with good food. But....after all of the gifts, we are now in complete toy overload at this point. LOL! It's not like we weren't before, but we really are now. We have toys in pretty much every room, closet and cabinet that had any free space at all. It's time to make a few visits to Good Will with all of the old stuff and make room for the new!

Right after Christmas, K3 took a spill down the stairs and landed on his elbow. After he fell, he was crying pretty hard but he quit quickly. He became very fussy that evening though and I just thought that it was from his cold that he had been fighting since Christmas Eve. But, by bedtime though, his elbow had swelled up and he couldn't hardly move it at all....it was hurting him pretty bad. We thought that it might be broke, so Jon took him to the ER. Fortunately, it was just a bad bruise and sprain. The hospital sent him home in a brace and sling just in case. Within a few days though, he was as good as new. I should post a pic of him in his brace....he can even make a sling look cute!

As the New Year approached, all three boys were pretty much sick with coughs and colds, so we decided that we would just make New Year's Eve a fun family night at home together. Sounds great, right?? Well...K2 started complaining about his ear hurting around 10:00 that night. Jon took a look and noticed a little something in his ear that wasn't supposed to be there! Gotta love 3 year olds! We tried to get it out and it was just too far in his ear. So....off for a 2nd trip to the ER in a week. As the clock struck midnight, Jon and I spent the last minute of 2007 on the phone together watching the countdown on the television.....him in the ER with K2 and me at home on the couch with K1 and K3. After all that, the ER couldn't even get the 'whatever it is' out of K2's ear. We had to make a trip to the ENT a couple days later to have it removed....and we're still not sure what the heck he put in his ear!

So, that was our holiday in a nutshell! I've got a couple of sessions to post shots of from last week....and then I have a maternity and newborn shoot this weekend. So, hopefully I'll be back to blog and show you guys some good stuff early next week when I get through proofing everything! Bye till then...
