CHRISTMAS

I am finally getting around to post about Christmas!

Christmas was soooo much fun for Kenny and I, but Ken was still sick. Kaylan seemed to enjoy it as well! She really enjoyed her music box that Santa brought her.

Ken slept though just about the whole thing. He stayed up for the opening of all the gifts but missed the 2 hours it took to clean it all up and remove everything from their boxes. He also missed out on Kenny's excitement as he played with each new toy. I have to say that his favorite toy so far has been his drums. He has wanted drums for a while now and asked Santa for them. Santa did not disappoint and he has been loving them. He also loves the Zhu Zhu pet hamsters his Grandma Springer got for him, except he hates it when they escape. His other favorite toy is his Diego Rescue Center and Railroad Rescue.

Christmas Eve we woke up at 6am and all went up to Kenny's room with hot chocolate and cookies for breakfast. After that we headed downstairs to open all our presents. Ken got mostly clothes and a new video game and I got a new 4-piece toaster, pizza pans, cake pans, and oven mitts. At noon we headed to Ken's mom's house for dinner and for Kenny to open even more presents. Ken also slept through most of this. At 5pm we headed home and we all took a nap. After our naps Kenny got to play with his toys and I tried to find homes for all his new toys.

On Christmas Day Ken had to work. The kids and I headed to my grandparents house in Quincy around 10 and got to spend time with all of my family on that side. We ate dinner at 1 and headed home at 2 to be with Ken who was still sick. Because we were sick most of the week we decided to skip our trip to Hillsdale to see that side of my family.

Overall Christmas was great this year, there were only two bad things. One Ken was sick and two my parents were unable to come down for the second year in a row because of weather. Hopefully I will get to see them in the Spring though because Kaylan has yet to meet her Grandpa Rurka.

Well, Merry Christmas!! I can't wait for next Christmas because both kids will be old enough to enjoy it!

Merry Christmas

Sorry it has been so long since my last update but we have been so busy with the holidays. Tonight I am just going to do a family update and tomorrow I will do our Christmas update.

Kaylan is now 2 months old and is the most perfect baby! She already sleeps eleven hours at night! She is still completely breastfed. She doesn't go for her two month check-up until January so I don't know any of her stats yet. Her eyes are still blue so we may get lucky and she will get to keep them. Her hair has turned a lighter shade of blond/brown as well. She loves it when you talk to her and always laughs if you tickle her belly.

Kenny is doing great as well. On Sunday he came down with a 24 hour stomach bug that landed us in ER at 1am. He was fine by that afternoon.

I woke up Wednesday morning feeling queasy and sure enough Kenny shared his bug with me. I then shared it with Ken. He was sick all last night and all of today. He was hit the worst out of the three of us. So far Kaylan has not gotten and I am hoping that she received some antibodies from it in my milk.

That is all for now, I am off to bed since Kenny finally fell asleep!
